Comment on What's Mastodon precious?

I’ve been a heavy Mastodon user for two years, and I honestly don’t see why so many people on Lemmy give it so much shit. Certainly not in favour of the likes of Bluesky.
I get WAY more engagement with my posts on there than I ever did on Twitter. And maybe I’m just at an age where I don’t give a shit about celebrity, but I couldn’t care less that all the Big Names have gone to Bluesky and Threads. It’s great not seeing the same people being shared into my TL all the time.
I’ve got a bsky account too but I get way more engagement on my fedi accounts. I’ve been building up my follows for 15 years on the fedi so bsky never had a chance to catch up. it probably never will.
15… Years? On the fediverse? How’d ya manage that without time travel?
The fediverse is older than mastodon.
Frendica and GNU Social/StatusNet date back to 2010. That’s nearly 15 years ago.
Huh, didn’t realise it was that old. TiL I guess.

Can you give actual examples?
I feel the only thing that Mastodon ‘misses’ is some feed to get you addicted.

Seconded, some specific examples would be helpful.

Might be paranoid, but I feel as if alot of the anti-mastoron sentiment is astroturfing. Might just be me and my schizo mind though.

the astroturfing is real but don’t fall into the trap of thinking that makes it less real. astroturfing works or they wouldn’t do it.

Which is precisely what makes people actually use twitter
