@andycarolan@social.lol @purplelime@social.lol Sadly for many users Mastodon is a second- or third-tier platform. I see I lot of people I like who have set scripts to repost here what they post elsewhere and never really engage here at all. To them it's just another broadcast medium, which is sad.
Kottke's a good example. I like their work; there's no engagement or responses or replying here at all. It's just a feed from their blog.

@bendaubney@social.lol @purplelime@social.lol It really misses the whole value of the platform though doesn't it.

@bendaubney@social.lol @andycarolan@social.lol I wonder if Mastodon is 3rd to Threads and Bluesky. Tried both, not a fan of either. Threads only good for finding new indie apps (mostly photography ones!). But yes a shame that some see Mastodon mostly as an RSS feed and not a community.
