I started this Mastodon instance as an alternative to Twitter because I was tired of the noise and ads.

With this space, I’ve experienced the ups and downs of micro community engagement. It’s by no means a straightforward solution but remains an interesting alternative for those with an interest in fashion and style.

I know some find the UX off putting but I think this is such a valuable community!

@jquillin ... Good choice. I get more than twice the engagement on Mastodon than I got on the birdsite, but with about half of the followers.

@technewslit That’s awesome! You mean you have real conversations not just bots?

@jquillin ... Just a few conversations (like this one), but still more than on what is now called X.

@technewslit I am glad!

ai6yr,

@jquillin @technewslit It's a lot, lot, lot worse over on Twitter since last year... much worse :-( The quality of conversation is much better here. The other thing is, the metrics are actually great here, it's just not as obvious (because Mastodon, at least, hides all of the "viral" indicators people are used to on Twitter -- ie views).

@ai6yr @technewslit Interesting. I haven’t really been on X in over a year for more than 6 seconds.

ai6yr,

@jquillin @technewslit Yeah, good choice, LOL. Most of the time it takes 30 seconds before I run into a white nationalist/neonazi ad or post and I get a sick feeling in my stomach and close it again.
