I have been enjoying it. I’ve been through a few phases, from sign up and early exploration, to not using it for a while, to cross-posting using moa.party between Twitter and Mastodon for a while; since April when the Musk bid was put in, I’ve spent more time there deliberately first, rather than being on Twitter first.
In the past couple of weeks the population has grown and it has become a lot more engaging. I’ve also ended up doing 3 or 4 impromptu training / info sessions for different groups of friends!
Definitely more friction than something like Twitter, but there’s plenty to like.
I’ve now uninstalled the Twitter apps from my devices and I don’t intend to be spending time there actively - sadly - more to come on my personal journey over the past few weeks.
Like you, I’ve been there since ~2017 - at the time, as @andypiper@mastodon.social but I recently moved to @andypiper@macaw.social
