minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-21 day agoSame. I like that it is hard to go viral. It feels more like people talking and less like influencers (although there are some.)

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.
