MODERATORS
How's the content on Masterdon compared to say Lemmy/kbin? Can always add a new site to my daily doom scrolling, but is it just a collection of people complaining about the smallest slight like on Twitter?
It's more like Twitter. Mastodon is a microblogging platform (people complaining about the smallest slight).
How is this different from here or reddit?
Also some FOSS projects and some content creators use it to spread announcement
And NASA posts a lot of astronomy pictures with #astromigration
Some of the "popular twitterers" are also on Mastodon, like @georgetakei@universeodon.com , @stephenfry@mastodonapp.uk (less activity), @neilhimself@mastodon.social
I actually applaud the internet splitting up again, the good old times!
I use it for chatting about game dev and fibre crafts mostly, plus live convos around big events like the Super Bowl or Eurovision. Not sure what it's like for other topics but it's plenty active in those! Even randomly ran into someone irl from the #Eurovision feed, that was pretty fun :D
