What made everybody move from a corporate social media platform to another corporate social media platform instead of the fediverse?

After all, the Fediverse and Activitypub is much more mature than Bluesky and the copycat AT protocol or Threads and … whatever they use.

    Well then it will never be useful for me. I want to follow PEOPLE. I want people to follow me for the random shit I say.

    Then they retweet the random shit, and now a whole NEW group of people can wonder what’s wrong with me.

      I follow hashtags I like, then see who the people are who use those tags, then follow those people.

      I find that I discover people that way I would not have found otherwise.

      It’s worked well for me so far. I wasn’t a twitter person before though, so I don’t know if I have the experience you did for comparison.

        See, I already know who I want to follow. I want to follow Nintendo. I want to follow Game Grumps. I want to follow my local pro wrestling indy. I want to follow MXRPlays.

        But none of them are on the fediverse. Although, Andy Richter is on BlueSky. So that’s something…I guess…

      If you start following hashtags, then you find interesting people. There are also curated lists that you can sign up for. That will introduce you to a lot of new content.

      there’s plenty of that going on, too, just not on as large a scale.

      Then it’s not the platform for you.

      IIRC there’s an iOS only frontend that fills that niche.

      Also there is a trending section but its hidden behind the “explore” page, along with the search function. One of many reasons I really don’t like Mastodon.
