I tried to get into twitter and mastodon a couple of times, but always found the platforms strange and just gave up on it. What are some pros of this format that might be worth it to look around there again?

Twitter is great for first hand breaking news. Wether its a disaster or something F1 related, it's always on Twitter first.

I got rid of my account years ago because I don't see the benefit of interacting on it or following certain people. That might be the problem with Twitter: i read a Tweet and leave again. Often that tweet is just embedded somewhere else. Because it's mainly about quantity of content, Mastodon isn't interesting to me now.
