  It’s an easy way to shout stuff about some trending topic, without creating a whole new community for it.

  And on the other hand, it works for expressing some personal thoughts or memes without having to adhere to a specific topic. But with random strangers instead of only your facebook friends.

  I think for these kind of needs, no other social media framework would comply better.

    I guess I get it, but like, sorting by all or new kind of does the same thing…

    I do see that it is popular, but the ‘feel’ is just that its a bunch of people shouting at each other across a cafeteria.

      You don’t like a bunch of people shouting at each other across a cafeteria? It kind of explains why I never got twitter either.

      It’s not. You have the “explore” tab which is more like “today’s viral toots” (which tend to be a lot more varied than Lemmy’s “All/Top 24h” since Lemmy is a link aggregator and doesn’t really lend itself to jotting down thoughts or diatribes), and you have your personal timeline which is people you actively follow. It’s not a cafeteria, it’s your RSS feed.

      Where it gets shouty is in replies, especially as those get federated weirdly. But that’s only a problem for the few percent of users who are making content, not for consumers.

  I never really got the Twitter model either. Following a specific individual is a weird one for me; I’d rather follow an idea or a topic instead (Reddit/lemmy/forums). I honestly don’t care enough about any individual user to the point where I want to know what they have to say about… anything, really.
