Does anyone find Mastodon to be beneficial in any way? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Due to the restrictions on Twitter, I've been trying out Mastodon recently. So far, I've noticed that there aren't as many high-profile people and it's harder to find people on other servers.

Does anyone feels to delete Mastodon account?

I got on back in November but didn't do much. Once Reddit imploded (sorry to bring this topic up again) I dedicated myself to understanding the Fediverse including Mastodon.

About the same time I got an invite to BlueSky, so I've been comparing the two. BlueSky definitely feels more like Twitter and has some relatively high profile people on it - except they are really interacting with each other and other users in a way they did not on Twitter, probably because it's so small.

Mastodon on the other hand feel far more like a place to meet new people; it feels easier to get a conversation going with someone there, kind of more low key? If that makes any sense?

My hope is enough journalist and news organizations get onto Mastodon to make it the useful service the bird used to be. We'll see!
