i can't get anything i post on mastodon to get much interaction... i'll stay on there kinda but i like cohost so much better it's not even funny... twitter might genuinely be more fulfilling for me

Well, haven't been on social media for a bit, so here goes nothing. Passionate, polyamorous, non-binary, neo-taíno + 20th century sephardic heritage critter, with Southern roots and Opinions about activism and justice. I don't know what to make of myself any more, so I'll leave it to you. The headmates might also show up occasionally. Don't worry, they're nice.

mastodon always felt cripplingly empty to me, and not in a homely way either. it's like, everything is so distant and weird, and you ask yourself like, »well, i could follow this super hardcore sexy weird instance, but the 50 or so normie people who use this instance might not like it so like... ???« and i just never really felt anything from it. so weird. I've tried using it thrice but eugh
oh, i think you're referring to how those people will start showing up in your instance's federated timeline? it's easy to prune entire instances from it on an individual reader's end (two clicks in the toot's options). another solution is to have two accounts like i do. i've gotten probably more interaction on gulp.cafe than on my alt here, but MUCH less on meow.social than my main here
but yes, i agree, mastodon has always felt sleepy and not in a good way. artists report decent engagement rates and it passes the smell test (plus you can see rts/faves), but for anyone else, it just feels like talking into a tiny void
