@josias@theres.life The huge draw of the fediverse is the in-order timelines (I used to like instagram > 5 years ago), and, of course, the interactivity (I still use an RSS reader, but rarely comment on blogs b/c of JS reqs like CAPTCHA). Microblogging here makes it easy to comment, share projects that I do or like with others who share that interest.
What I don't like about mastodon is the public nature (not that you can't do privacy on the fedi, but it's not well suited to that).
