It's the difference between conversation and commentary. A lot of people who like masto like that people are finally talking *to* them.

Not that I don't see value in commentary. I use Tumblr a lot. But you don't go to Tumblr to have a conversation. It's not for talking to people.

A gossip feature will change the tone here
