I think the Tusky client helps a LOT with bringing up the “early blogging” feel that I'm feeling with Mastodon right now. Like, I don't even have to wait until the end of day. I'll just open the client, verbal diarrhea in it, and SOMEONE will find it mildly interesting.
IIRC with blogging tho, that shit didn't last. We'll start seeing more commercial, “brand”-conscious people moving in, and if this place survives it, that early feel will disappear.
Speaking of which, look at that, my first Mastodon-meta post for today.
