I don't mean to derail this and whatnot but like... Mastodon is uninteresting for a lot of people, low key. Interesting is subjective but I'm personally here mostly out of stubbornness and for moral reasons.. I've got a small cadre of interesting people i talk to here but even with them, I'm uninterested in much of what they retweet or post.

A lot of the things i like, do, see, enjoy, etc have minimal presence here as far as i can tell.

Mastodon attracts, caters to, and maintains, a very specific set of interests and personalities, and they are frequently self righteous about how much better Masto is and how much fun they're having here and how awful Twitter always was.

It's pretty easy to get here, struggle to find interesting (very subjective) people or content early on, and then be told that it's your fault that you're not having a good time. That you're doing Masto wrong, by picking the wrong server or not following/using hashtags, and that the things you want in order to make this place more familiar or accommodating are actually bad and so are you for wanting them.

That was my early exp anyways. I'm just a stubborn MF so i stayed anyways.
