   A really good piece on 404 Media that talks about Bluesky's growth, but also how Mastodon (and other parts of the Fediverse) had a bunch of momentum taken away by Threads.

   As someone who uses both Mastodon and Bluesky on the regular, I find myself in full agreement.

     I'm really glad Threads ain't it. I swore off of all Meta products in 2019 and I will never personally use their products again.

     @tabernac I've been using social media since the days of LiveJournal. I've found moderate success-- a few hundred followers and likes on my stuff every so often. I've just found that talking about what interests me has worked for me, as well as chatting with others when I find what they've said to be interesting. It's been more about chatting with friends or the like-minded rather than chasing clout.

     I once had a few posts go viral on the old Twitter, and the feeling was super uncomfortable. 😬

     IMO all the social media platforms are incredibly boring.

     I hardly get any traction on any of them.

     Maybe I'm using them 'wrong' but you follow hundreds even thousands of ppl and you're lucky you get a like or even a view for a post.

     I guess its all just a popularity contest where the cool kids still rule the roost.

     And I was never one of them...ah well.

     Thanks for listening. 😜

     @tabernac I heard it best on a podcast, you scream into the void on social media and sometimes the void screams back.

     That said, I'm of the firm belief that one should post about what excites or interests them. Hashtags also helped me immensely here and on Bluesky. Also, posting frequency-- at least once a day, but not too many times per day.

     Just feel like I'm screaming at the clouds on social media.

     So what's the point...😞
