I feel like 75% of Mastodon are people talking about Linux. If you don’t care about Linux you feel alienated. I enjoy Mastodon and Lemmy, but the lack of more diverse subjects gets to me if I browse for too long.

Update: I took your advice and purchased a laptop for Linux, and now I care about it! Problem solved.

    Totally. While I do want the Fediverse to grow, I have to admit enjoying that the scroll is not quite endless. It really highlights how much garbage we encounter on a daily basis that exists purely to distract and entertain us since I don’t really feel like I’m having FOMO or anything but I’m scrolling way less.

      Twitter was designed to be addictive, whereas Mastodon was specifically designed to not be addictive. That’s why scrolling Mastodon feels so boring after a while.
