Mastodon, not my cup of tea (to be fair, neither was Twitter). I just don't find micro-blogging to be very engaging and my mind categorizes it as "brain rot".
Sharkey? Haven't heard of that one until I just googled it, but one look at their mascot and....no. Just... no.
Have been looking at joining Piefed instance, though.
Same here. I don’t mind microblogging, but I find it hard to find good content to follow on Mastodon. Also not a fan of my feed being filled with replies. Not having the thread right there for context is distracting and annoying.
No idea what sharkey is. Don’t really care to find out.
Sharkey is mastodon but with way more features.
idk, Mastodon has official apps for iOS and I think also more users
Aria is a client for Sharkey. Users doesn't really matter since they interoperate. (Also: it supports the mastodon API.)
It’s pretty easy to find content if you follow topics instead of focusing on specific accounts. For example, I follow #photography, and my feed is constantly full of posts from people all over the world sharing some really amazing pictures.
Instead of looking for people to follow, follow topics and then the people who post about that will come to you.
the thing you have to remember is that the internet is built off the backs of furries and trans women.
that's not to say that all tech workers are one of those two, but a lot of those two work in tech, specifically open source.
Don't believe me? look up programer/Unix socks.
Literally my exact thought process.
