I don't get that platform. I just signed up for mastodon and am not sure I'm feeling that either.
I feel like these Twitter-style sites are just ...like... Keyboard warriors. It's just smug post after smug post.
It honestly creeps me out. Like I see all these popular political posts by profile icons I recognize.... But every post is just whinging...
Who are these people and why do they get popularity and even mentioned on the news as truth when their posts have no sources and are just bullshit political emotion. Then you read a news article that "Twitter is cancelling....". All because there was one post about with someone acting like a dick.
All depends on who you follow. If you follow people who make stuff (art, software, etc) then you’ll find your feed a lot more upbeat.
Still, on another platform (such as Lemmy) they could make more meaningful posts.
