@Gabz I still find myself a bit unsure of how to engage with Mastsdon. How did you choose an instance? What kept you from using micro.blogās Mastodon-compatible username? How do you intend to use them differently?
@kbrice Hm! All good questions, well, how you choose an instance? First I was in mastodon.social, simply because that's the one I found out when i signed up. That was a few years ago. Then sometime this week I was talking with @eli on mAstodon about maybe start using the service more kid of thing. (Then I noticed his instance and thought it was hilarious so I created a new account under that one). Anyway, it's just a different space, just like twitter is, there might be different people to chat with and maybe even different conversations, like a chat app. Just another nerdy way to interact. Still all my Micro.blog stuff will cross post to both mastodon and twitter.
@Gabz I tried mastodon and used to cross post from M.b. Maybe I still do, not sure? I joined mastodon.technology but I couldnāt find any value to make it worth my time. There was a lot of crap posted, overt hostility and trolling, and the posts that were useful were available elsewhere in a cleaner fashion. I gave up on it after a couple of months.
@Gabz Yeah, I did the same signing up for mastodon.social a while ago before micro.blog supported it. It just felt kind of lonely and I stopped looking at it, and I never set up cross-posting. Hopefully your experience this time around is betterāIād be interested to hear back how it goes.
