As an amateur artist, mastodon is really not friendly to newcomers like me.

I had to figure out what an instance was and pick one (I chose mastodon.art since I was interested in that)

After wondering why I couldn’t find other people’s accounts, it turned out that I shouldn’t have picked that instance because it had defederated from almost anyone else.

So now I had to create another account in another instance, which turned out to be so full my posts were not getting any traction.

With Bluesky I just created an account and I immediately gained a few followers

It is just not worth the hastle.

I think the problem with posts like this is that they are biased to the US. In real life, Facebook is still widely used outside the US, Twitter still has the majority of users and Instagram and Snapchat are used bye everyone.

Now watch as all the corporations that paused their advertising slowly return to the platform.

What comments like this fail to understand is that people sometimes like to do nothing with their free time.

YouTube became as popular as it is because it fulfilled a necessity, for good or bad
