Yeah I prefer this style of interaction far more than the Mastodon style. I just never could get into the twitter style of social media.

Same. I like a forum-like style. I still think Twitter is a "shout to the void" and same to Mastodon. I like the... slower? Yeah slower, more thought out, and more interactive of this style. Like everything kinda has a purpose to exist.

Yeah, i think reddit model is perfect balance between recommended content and what you are subscribed to. Glad things like this now in fediverse too.

And it was accompanied with their character limit. It is not enough to elaborate on anything, its only use is to shout out anything that you got mad about without thinking.

Twitter/Mastodon: shout to the void, maybe it shouts back

Reddit/Lemmy: shout into a room full of people that share the same interest

I don't understand why people want to follow people. I want to follow topics of interest. It makes all the difference.

Agreed. I feel like federation is a lot easier to wrap your head around in this style too

Well twitter is unbearably toxic anyway
