It’s pretty much replaced twitter for me. That is, I don’t go there unless someone posts a link.

It’s ok. I used to use it a lot more. There is a hexbear aligned instance which is cool. But a lot of mastodon is very lib. In all honesty, Bluesky had replaced it for me. A lot of communists and socialists to follow. The only major downside I can think of is there is a lot of horny posting. And I’m just not interested in seeing anyone sexualized on my social media.

It’s cool for some stuff, I follow a lot of artists and indie game devs on there and it’s nice and chill. The people I follow are supportive of each other and it feels more like a community than like a marketplace. I was never into twitter though so I dunno if people looking for that will like it.
