I understand that one's experience on any social media site is highly dependent on how you curate your own space for sure. I do also think that post-twitter social media has splintered in such a way that people who have different kinds of priorities have been gravitating towards certain platforms because they're oriented in a particular direction, when it comes to their features or their initial userbase or whatever. It makes sense that communities of people would follow each other to the same places, and this would I'd think logically have an impact on the culture of each place. I think we're all used to Twitter as this grand melting pot of Everybody, for better or worse, but I think masto, cohost, tumblr, bsky, etc. are all like, attracting different kinds of people to some degree, and that is I think both unavoidable and to be expected and also -fine-.

I also kind of feel like, within the sphere of 'people I already knew on twitter', there are cohorts within that that have largely settled on various different social networks. So I can certainly think of "the people I know who are very cohosty" as like, a specific classification within my existing social groups, that doesn't include everybody I know. I'm sure I could step outside my existing social sphere to find other people who are into totally different stuff, but even when just browsing tags and Global Cohost Feeds I feel like I just see a higher concentration of certain categories of people/content here vs. elsewhere.
