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?

I never 'got' twitter. I've created about 3 accounts over the years only to leave them behind. It's just not for me. I'm also a long-winded person, definitely not an "x characters" person.

I made a mastodon a couple of years ago, I figured it would go the same way. But it didn't. I found a couple of sweet people that made multilingual puns and liked animals. They had fun friends. The little community grew from there. Now I'm a regular user. When I post, I'm mostly sharing things to "my friends", not screaming into the wind. Most of this little network is on separate instances each too.
