Pretty much everything I valued at #Twitter has moved to some extent to #Mastodon. So why do I still visit?

I've come to realize that the main factor is simply scale. The content quality on the pachyderm 🐘 is an order of magnitude better, but also pretty thin when looking at any sufficiently narrow subject.

And, in the other direction, your audience reach is more engaged, but much smaller. (That's actually a feature, not a bug, for me.)

I do NOT feel in touch with the world when on the #Fediverse, compared to the #birdsite 🐦 . News eventually arrives, but hardly instant.

So a long way to get to asking:

Are most of the shortcomings of #distributed #socialmedia just about scale? Can we grow into a more satisfying experience.

Or perhaps, there by dragons?
