I recently tried to join Mastodon, and like Twitter before it, I don’t understand the premise. You follow individuals instead of topics, and if you try to follow hashtags they change on a whim all the time so you’re unlikely to get relevant posts.
Am I missing something, or is the purpose just to shout your opinions into the void? Could any Twitter/Mastodon users explain it to me like I’m 4?
I don’t know if that is its purpose, but that is how it is used.
I actually like shouting my opinions into the void. Because that way, I’m happy knowing that someone will read it eventually.
Sure. It’s cathartic.
I’ve had luck shouting things into the void before.
It’s good to get things out there sometimes.
last time I shouted into the void about something, my item shipped out faster.
Also one time I randomly got refunded for shouting into the void.
