Same boat. But Twitter wasn't really my kind of social media anyway, maybe that's why Mastodon hasn't locked in?
Twitter's only purpose is for blue checkmarks to scream into the void, but why do that when you can watch more fun versions of blue checkmarks shitpost on Lemmy instead?
Yeah it took me a couple of tries before I got Twitter, so I’ve been sticking with Mastodon so far. This might well be what I was looking for all along though.
It's the voting system that does it imo. When everyone just shouts random thoughts into the void hoping it goes viral the overall quality tends to be low. It makes for a decent RSS feed, but so do RSS feeds.
twitter is way more useful for following people or groups for news/updates than posting comments and forming communities
like a secondary social media platform you can link elsewhere
Yeah, I never had a Twitter, and when I tried mastodon I got visually assaulted by a full screen picture of a wang, so I'm good here.
