Literally one of the first ones i found in mastodon.org. Clicked "tech" servers, then browsed until i found fosstodon.org, which seemed like the best match for my own preferences. So signed up, and still nothing. This was months ago, so i have pretty much given up on the entire thing.

if all you wanted to do is look around, it is understandable why giving up was this easy.

honestly, if github and HN suffice for all your social needs, you probably dont need anything else.

microblogging is not for everyone. but for others, since twitter is just no longer viable, people have been migrating to something that can't be just bought out by yet another rich asshole. plus privacy, extended control over your own data, and all that other nerd shit no one cares about.

I really dont care that much. To be honest i just wanted to "try it out", and also i cant stand twitter, its just such a echo chamber, and is full of pro russia trolls and trumpists, so i gave that up too. Im sure the trolls will migrate to mastodon too, sooner or later.

the difference is: you choose which people you interact with, and may never even meet a bot account, if you just stick to people you know
