Wow, that was a great thread. I realized, maybe, what was realized by the author as well — with other socials, it’s about “getting likes” or outside approval. “Great post!” That sort of thing.
But with the fediverse, it’s about interaction. Having conversations with real people. For me, having posts boosted or whatever doesn’t give me that dopamine hit that another platform might. Instead, it’s how engaged people may get with the post.
I think that’s why I’ve abandoned all other social media and stuck with the fediverse. It’s organic.
