Another hot tip: don’t refer to people as “normies.”

Yeah, that surprised me, actually.

I just took Mastodon for a spin only a week or so ago, and it felt much less active than most of the communities on here do. Just my anecdotal experience, though. I couldn’t find more than a handful of Twitter-migrated accounts on Mastodon that I cared to follow. There just wasn’t much happening on there that I’m interested in when I last checked. I’ll look again.

Oh hell yeah they are. I’m a tech enthusiast, myself. Don’t even get me started on Wednesdays because I’ll never stop.

Because it’s just an incredibly small userbase made up mostly of tech/privacy enthusiasts as of right now.

Thanks. I’ve tried all of the options suggested in this thread so far, and this one seems to be the best for search/discovery.
