I recently tried to join Mastodon, and like Twitter before it, I don’t understand the premise. You follow individuals instead of topics, and if you try to follow hashtags they change on a whim all the time so you’re unlikely to get relevant posts.

Am I missing something, or is the purpose just to shout your opinions into the void? Could any Twitter/Mastodon users explain it to me like I’m 4?

    Same experience. If you want people to talk to you on Mastodon you have to insult them LOL that’s how I started getting attention and finally getting fucking followers LOL it’s ridiculous haha
