I have a mastodon account. I haven't opened it up in weeks. it's just... boring to me. Very wonky, very reminiscent of message boards in the early 90s.
Substack Notes are more appealing. Better interface, lively conversations.
Apparently Spoutible is another Twitter alternative. (And George Costanza is there!) I haven't tried that yet.
An old adage still applies: If the product is free, you're the product. Get rid of ads and their algorithms and let paying users build and own their feed. And make everyone who uses it pay. Until we have decentralized, peer to peer social media apps (a long time), this is my vote for sanity.
