Well, not to shit on the idea too much, but right now as of posting, looking at ~100 posts in the feed and the majority are bots, automated posts, or otherwise “brand” posts, not just regular people, and a few are Threads users or bridged Bluesky/Xitter accounts.
That’s getting close to the 5k character limit, but you get the idea. This has actually negatively influenced my opinion on fediverse activity. I didn’t realize that such a high share of the activity wasn’t actually just “normal users”.
I have tried to use Mastodon, and I appreciate what is is, but I just don’t see the appeal. It feels like I’m trying to interact with nothing, and no one, ever seeing it. Feels like speaking to the void.
