@openrisk @noondlyt I can say that, for me, the fediverse works better. But I very much assume that's because there's a pre-selection of people, as in: the people who choose to use the fediverse are already a niche.
Following topics is a really nice feature that allows me to meet interesting people with similar interests.
Sometimes I also wish some conversations had rooms for themselves that I could actively leave, auch as current politics. Like muting a hashtag, but that's still imperfect.
