I never understood the point/purpose of "microblogging." It's like making an entire post out of a throwaway comment. That's what I saw on mastodon, didn't choose to participate. Also found it was hard to find people I wanted to follow, and that it was flooded with porn I wasn't interested in and couldn't effectively filter.
Yeah I followed hashtags like #history or #science but I would get flooded with things that vaguely had to do with those subjects; just because people added like 20 hashtags to their posts.
