LostCause

It‘s kinda why I never warmed up to Twitter, it feels more focused on everyone posting their random thoughts on daily life and building up some public persona.

Anyway, I do enjoy their comments sometimes showing up in threads around here so it‘s not all bad.

Another #wednesday another day of work, can‘t wait for #friday to come around!

-Mastodon user probably

It‘s like Twitter basically, but since it‘s also in the fediverse there is a bit of overlap where Mastodon people can comment on Lemmy/kbin stuff too anyway. Usually they have something like @LostCause and hashtags like #mastodon and so on in their comments, that‘s how I typically spot them.

So their growth is relevant for us, but you don‘t need to make an account there.

My boyfriend joined, but he‘s only using it a little bit and mostly still on Reddit. Though maybe me sending all my memes and stuff from here will eventually get him to come here more.

The rest, no, they are the types to use TikTok, Twitter and Instagram, they just want to follow a few influencers/famous people, theres no content for that on here and probably for the best anyway. When I want to write to them I use Signal.

I kinda like the tech enthusiast vibes on here and would like it to stay fairly small, though maybe it will grow eventually to the size of Reddit.

Yeah, I noticed that too, I just hope the amount of people who do care is big enough to have a nice and thriving community outside of corporate control.
