Gregory's Server@J12t I think I use it the same since I was able to have a regular access to the internet (since IRC days): connect with different people, expand my view of the world by finding about new and different things, discuss a bit on topics that I might find relevant, and share stuff/opinions that (some) people might find interesting or amusing. Money, ads, reach, etc was never a thought.

 @J12t it strangely works better than I anticipated: even though we might be scattered between different servers the information eventually flows by and I might see stuff that I would not see otherwise. The diversity, attitude, and openness of people here also beats all alternatives I've tested: my small following list is the most diverse I ever had and also the most interesting and kind. Of course I sometimes need to curate the feed but beats trying to escape promoted content and ads. |
@ncrav "Finding out about new and different things" and people is a good one
Do you think social media (here and elsewhere) is particularly good at helping you with that?
