@owen@jerry Go make an account on any new social platform, see what your timeline is full of.
probably 25% People talking about joining, and probably promoted content.
Now.. remove the promoted content.
Now, spend 6 months interacting and following people building a list of contacts and interactions. Your content feed looks like what.. 40% if you’re lucky meaningful interactions and content, the rest promoted/ad content.
@owen@jerry Now.. consider a new platform, that doesn’t have the filler/promoted content… what are you left with?
Give mastodon time, try to interact.. it’s taken me months, but starting from my own instance up to now…. Its easily a pre e-day twitter experience from a meaningful content perspective.
@owen I have a feeling X could fall apart fast. If they start carging and lose a lot of engagement and lose some of the big "influencers" that are keeping so many people there (even security people, though they will not admit it), I expect it'll unravel very fast. @gangrif
