Comment on How I use Mastodon in 2025 - fredrocha.net
realitista@lemm.ee 2 weeks agoThat takes a long time. I went to bluesky and just followed some starter packs and was up and running in less than an hour with 1000+ follows and a nice feed. Within a few weeks I had more than 700 followers myself.

See, I don’t understand why anyone would need to immediately follow that many randoms. And I don’t get the need to speedrun social media.
But hey, it takes all sorts.

It’s investment vs payoff. I want to get a feed up and running, then I can tailor it as needed. My feed from doing this ended up better than 10+ years at Twitter trying to follow people individually, mostly because I was able to oursource the work of finding people with an interest in certain things to people who have put in the time to do this manually which I don’t have the desire to do.
It may just be that the Twitter format isn’t a good fit for me, but it worked at Bluesky in a way it didn’t work anywhere else using that style of communication.
