This is pretty much my favorite new online place for the past 5 or so months. A lot of great conversations.

Who do you follow? The decentralized part is kind of confusing to me.

natecull@mastodon.social is someone I engage with a lot.

I follow liberally, engage strangers liberally. It's not twitter, there isn't a "GET OUT OF MY TIMELINE" thing going on where it's not welcome to talk to people.

Nice logo redesign, also https://instances.social/ is great to overcome this choice paralysis. I might try it, but I don't like twitter much and this seems like an open version of it, can anyone who uses it comment on the differences/similarities?

Interface-wise it's largely the same as TweetDeck's.

The community varies pretty heavily based on what instance you hang out in, but overall it's way kinder than Twitter. The extra characters let you have some nuance in your posts, too! :)

The largest difference to me is Mastodon's 500 character limit. It leads to conversations that feel much more nuanced compared to Twitter.
