Attached: 1 image Here's what people on the outside looking in, don't get, Mastodon isn't an alternative to other social media, it is its own thing entirely. That's what struck me about it, and why I'm still there. People on Mastodon didn't care how many people were on it or if their favorite celebrity or journalist was here. They want to build communities with real people. All these kinds of articles are basically stating, "This wasn't for me, therefore these things are failures." How absolutely ridiculous.
