I used the webapp version to browse, never registered. I find seeing photos of others, makes me jealous and self conscious, not saying bad about myself, just that I feel jealous of what features others have. Not healthy mindset for sure. I like it, more conversation focused, not "look what I have". Congrats to mastodon for being better community wise over fb or twitter.
I like it in the way that it is kinder than corporate social media. I just don't like the style of it, like, it's person focused, like instagram, not content/community focused like reddit-style systems are. i see posts of people sharing photos of themselves, when i want to see only text based communities from subjects i'm interested in. Hope this makes sense.
