minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-214 hours agoSame. I like that it is hard to go viral. It feels more like people talking and less like influencers (although there are some.)
minus-squareT156@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 hours agoAt the same time, the lack of virality may hurt it since it feels much more like a burgeoning project. One of the draws for someone coming off of Twitter would be feature parity, and Mastodon feeling less complete and much smaller wouldn’t help.
