@drewdevault yes, but I don't want to chat with people in my community. I don't have time for that, with my large following; it would consume all of my time.
I make content. I want to distribute that content. Not all content is suitable for a YouTube video, which is why I used to use Twitter (in fact, I started on Twitter).
It's clear that the Mastodon community doesn't want content creators like @AmericanFietser on Mastodon, which is fine, but don't be surprised when there's no content here.
