I had been on Mastodon since November last year and never felt that “shouting to the void” feeling. But I understand that is not for everybody.
Microblogging sites with no algorithm like Mastodon or Calckey, require you to invest time to follow, comment and care for other people’s content to make friends and followers.
But as you said, some people don’t like or have time for that, and forum like site like this are better. I actually giving this a try, because or Reddit I wasn’t the most engaged user either.
I think microblogging in general feels pretty “void shouty”. Like, the void is populate, but you’re still stating a conversation with no one in particular.
I’ve been active on Mastodon/Calckey about the same amount of time. I never cared for microblogging sites before, but taking the time to find, follow, comment and make internet “friends” has really made it a pleasant experience.
Reddit I’ve been on since before the Digg migration, but was never super active there, more of a lurker. So I’m hoping to do better here as well.
