What made everybody move from a corporate social media platform to another corporate social media platform instead of the fediverse?

After all, the Fediverse and Activitypub is much more mature than Bluesky and the copycat AT protocol or Threads and … whatever they use.

    Well then it will never be useful for me. I want to follow PEOPLE. I want people to follow me for the random shit I say.

    Then they retweet the random shit, and now a whole NEW group of people can wonder what’s wrong with me.

      I follow hashtags I like, then see who the people are who use those tags, then follow those people.

      I find that I discover people that way I would not have found otherwise.

      It’s worked well for me so far. I wasn’t a twitter person before though, so I don’t know if I have the experience you did for comparison.

      If you start following hashtags, then you find interesting people. There are also curated lists that you can sign up for. That will introduce you to a lot of new content.

        I’m going to copy/paste my last comment. You tell me what hashtag I’m supposed to use.
