This is part sub-toot, part observation and part my own experience... I've found Mastodon to be a really vibrant, exciting, engaging, diverse and inspirational platform. BUT, if a person doesn't interact with others on here, they will miss out on a lot! It's definitely the best platform I've been a part of, because of the people here, the tools available, and the structure of the fediverse as a whole. But... you DO need to engage to get the best experience. Disclaimer: This is all just IMO of course #Mastodon

  • @andycarolan@social.lol True. At first, not much is happenning. No algorithm. You have to interact. Only then things happen.

    @andycarolan@social.lol In all fairness, some people just want to read "news & views". Not everyone has something to say (yes, I swear) and in that case I'm glad they just read. But of course this is a social network and being social is definitely a part of it.

    @andycarolan@social.lol It's the beauty of it, I think. It's curated. You choose what you are exposed to. It's not shoved in your face. I do think in a world where things get shoved in your face it's easier to get exposure to others - but it's so stressful haha. I much rather enjoy the slow build, the brick by brick, and the gradual ramp up of engagement I've had with the great people of the Fediverse!
