Is places like Mastodon, Twitter, and this Threads thing just places for people to just write some blurb? (kbin.social)

I have never understood the concept of Twitter and such, is it basically like Live Journal with a text limit ? How do the interactions even work ? Just people saying something unprompted and then people just talk?

When I was still using it for science we simply boasted about our achievements and called that "networking".
My new paper is out in the International Journal of Unreproducible Science, cite me, I'm begging you!

I bet now this just happens on LinkedIn lol!

My bubble disappointingly is still doing that on Twitter. Since they convinced themselves that Twitter is an essential networking tool it's hard to ditch.
LinkedIn was more seen as "if you want to leave science go to LinkedIn, otherwise ignore that platform". But it absolutely does happen there, too, just not to that extend, from what I am seeing.
