I have absolutely zero interest in participating in any kind of social media that isn’t an “anonymous forum.” I have no interest in following particular individuals; I’m really only interested in having discussions with random internet users that share common interests. I used PhpBB instances, IRC, and before that BBS systems, and I’m really just looking for the same kind of experience.
So I will never use Mastodon; I think it’s a fantastic alternative to Xitter, but the format just doesn’t interest me in the slightest.
I think I’m very similar to you
I want to have a feed of topics I’m interested in, very rarely do I care about a specific individual, and the case that I do it’s probably because they’re a local restaurant or something like that, basically all I use Instagram for is a glorified photo menu for food I might want on a given weekend
Same
I mean those are the only “social” media finally
phpBB was the best.
The old forums I frequent have all seen their activity drop, which is sad.
I prefer the smaller forums centred around common interests. I made a load of friends through those forums.
I quit reddit recently and it occurred to me that after 10 years, I didn’t make a single friend on reddit.

Ditto. On top of that, I could not get into the tiny, tiny width of the “Twitter experience” with their web site. I don’t need mobile width pages on desktops.
Responsive Web Design… use it, implement it, never forget it.

Is the 4 column layout not standard on Mastodon?
