Funny, that's what we Mastodon users are saying about Twitter. ;-)

> Mastadon depends a lot on what instance you're on. You're community is primarily your instance and non-instance users are secondary I don't agree with this at all. Most of my following and followers are on other instances, and that seems to be true of them too, unless you happen to be on the biggest instance mastodon.social, which has a disproportionate number of total Mastodon users, but as a result also doesn't h…
It's interesting that we have such different experiences. I'm on a small instance that's mostly insular. I have a good experience anytime I'm looking at local feeds, but anytime I look at the global feed or search outside the instance the results are very low quality. I follow people outside my instance, but never ones I've discovered through Mastadon.
Any social network is what you make of it. You can choose to socialize as much or as little as you want.

> I never had a Twitter account, and I don't even lurk
Interesting. Do you have a Mastodon account? Or are you just making grand pronouncements about things that you're completely unfamiliar with?
[EDIT:] And apparently you didn't have a Hacker News account until 15 minutes ago, so I have to wonder where exactly you've been allegedly saying things for months?

#17As far as I can tell, the only people who moved to Mastodon are the people who are REALLY tuned into Twitter rage, aka the super insufferable ones. Most people seem to be just fine continuing the normal shitposting and whatever on Twitter.

#18> - People get real nasty about others going back to “the birdsite” > I want to focus on the last point because this has definitely been a contributor to my recent ick. I’ve noticed a few folks getting frankly, horrible about people moving back to Twitter recently and I think it’s a bit unfair. I think it's a bit unfair to say that "Mastodon" is giving you "the ick" when you really mean that a few folks on Mastodon a…
It's weird how the people who find mastodon icky never consider following less icky people.
