I was just scrolling through my Fediverse account and I found it... not very engaging. I haven't used it in a while so I was scrolling to get the feel of it and reflect about it.
I have no intention to delete it as it's not actively harmful unlike Tumblr or X. I just don't feel like it's worth my time. The experience feels very social media when what I want is intentional conversation and creativity.
This realization makes me a little sad because all my mutuals are creatives. I wanna chat about art but Mastodon is still a Twitter-like and scrolling feels like a chore.
I'm comparing it to Pillowfort quite unfairly, probably. I just really like platform that allow for long form where everyone can take their time. The social rules just aren't as clear on these kinds of platforms.
Reminds me that I really need to finish that post about feature comparisons.
Anyways, I think I'll keep sharing on Mastodon links to finished stuff but now that I have a micro/blog to yap about series, I feel like I'm moving away from how I first used to use Mastodon. I'm a "address the ones in power/unhealthy behavior instead of people" so I don't have negative feelings towards the people I follow there. It's a platform that calls for certain types of interaction and posts that I don't want to engage in. I still follow some through RSS and Mastodon really doesn't make it easy to jump from there to my account to share or comment. I do wanna look into that.
