Another #wednesday another day of work, can‘t wait for #friday to come around!
-Mastodon user probably
The worst is the "good night" posts, I find it so cringey.
Posts like: "Can't keep these sleepy eyes open, sweet dreams everyone". It seems like mastodon is for people that love small talk.
That really synthetises why I dislike microblogging so much: It's a bunch of people throwing small-talk and rage bait everywhere, all the time.
Considering a lot of people are really bad at conservation in every possible way, it also makes sense why microblogging is so much more popular than forum-like platforms.
To be fair, I’ve seen so many like them on Twitter
And every morning (or like at 5-6 am when I was going to bed), the (not personalized) Germany trends were full of stuff like "Good morning", "Hello", and the names of individual people.
It‘s kinda why I never warmed up to Twitter, it feels more focused on everyone posting their random thoughts on daily life and building up some public persona.
Anyway, I do enjoy their comments sometimes showing up in threads around here so it‘s not all bad.
Yeah same, it feels like being in a group chat with strangers. I'm glad it's an option for those that want it though.
It's funny how you can often tell a comment came from Mastodon because the way people type is just different somehow
mastodon users always type like they got that puffed out chest looking down at you
tbf, that's just microblogging in a nutshell
