that feeling when there's someone you have kind of wanted to meet for a while on mastodon, but you look at their posts and it's almost entirely manual boosts of twitter content from other people... >.< Even if it's like, good stuff, that's not.

Words. Guh.

@Felthry Makes it feel like they don't hang out here, they just share the stuff from the social media site they care about here?

@packbat yeah, I suppose that's true

I just. Wish people would stop thinking of this as a twitter alternative or a side-site and just. Actually engage with people. Build friendships and communities, be yourself

@Felthry *nods*

sometimes people don't have a space for another community

still kind of ... like, there's something already happening here that a lot of us here care about quite a lot - we want people coming here to care about what we're doing here

and not caring - using this site to just ... do something completely else? can feel like treading roughshod over what what we want this to be

idk, I'm guessing

@packbat I dunno. they just seem like an interesting person and I would like to meet them but. How do you even do that, for one

@Felthry *nods*

you could give it a shot?

who knows, maybe it'll work

maybe they're posting posts from Twitter because they haven't found a community here yet.
