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’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.
