Using #mastodon was not as cumbersome as I initial thought. Happy I gave it a shot!
For now I'm avoiding #BlueSky as centralized social seems to misalign incentives for everyone. Between ads, mis/disinformation, enshitification, and memetic schismogenesis, I've come to wonder if it's best to think of online communities like real ones.
That means smaller but more intimate reach, finding people you can maybe interact w/ offline (or of platform at least), & focusing on meaningful conversation.
