On Mastodon I have used the option of “muting” users whose content I am not interested in at all. This has improved my feed a lot.

In my case the algorithm bored the heck out of me. I stopped using Facebook since 2015. Even the youtube algorithm has started boring me now and I am happy with newpipe.

I just started using Mastodon. It’s been around 10 days or so. I am already having a lot of good engagement there. I guess “no algorithm” works best for me. I used to get bored of scrolling twitter or even reddit within 15 minutes or so. On Mastodon on certain days I can easily spend 45 minutes or more.

How is battery life and heating issues compared to A52s, which comes with snapdragon chip?

I have started following hashtag, like books, reading, technology, cats, dogs, etc. I have also started following a few people that I have noticed share content that I am interested in. I am finding interesting content. Also, certain amount of engagement in the comments. So far, a good experience. It’s only been a few days, however.

I hardly use reddit at this point. I never used twitter. In fact, using the Fediverse got me curious and decided to check out Mastodon. Just been using it for a few days and trying out stuff and must say I am kind of enjoying it.

I went through about 50% and it’s great. Very easy to understand. Saving it for future use.

I like how the name can be read in 2 ways: shit just works and shh it just works!
