Unless anyone knows another reason for this impressive increase in comments? Seems to roughly coincide with Sync launching. If thats the case, just goes to show the importance of good third party apps.

EDIT: Looks like a confusingly labeled graph and I think this is total comments. I have no idea why that spike could exist though.
This is me. I don't know why I thought Mastodon would click for me when Twitter never did. I can't bring myself to yell into the void. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong, idk. Much happier here.
Yeah definitely a different kind of social media. I come on here to browse the trending content and see what other people are saying about it. It's content focused, rather then Mastodon where it's focused on a person's single post and gets easily buried among low effort posts.
Thanks for putting down my vague impression into clear words. I couldn't agree more!
This is a good observation, it means that kind of social media (twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) is much more egotistical and self-aggrandizing,which in turn explains why people like Musk and Trump are so enamoured with the format.
I feel the same, I stopped using Twitter in 2010 when I realized I was neither funny nor popular and nobody cared about what I had for breakfast or how far I ran. Gave mastadon a try recently because I am interested in Fediverse but the feeling is same
