I haven’t been active here on Facebook for a while. I’m less comfortable with the major social media platforms these days, and Facebook starts sending “hey, why don’t you like me anymore?” emails and notices on a daily basis, which I find annoyingly makes me want to *not* come back.
But this is where most of the people I know are, so after a few weeks I finally get back and spend too long trying to catch up on 87 notifications that aren’t actually the kind of thing that would be a notification on any other platform, they’re things FB thinks I want to see, and sometimes they’re right, and sometimes they’re wrong, but 90% of the time it’s about Facebook and whether they can get me to look, not about “Hey your friend wants to get in touch with you about this thing.”
Anyway, I’ve been most active on Mastodon lately. It’s similar to Twitter, but instead of one centralized corporation it’s a lot of different servers run by different people and groups, so it can actually be moderated on a human scale, but the servers are able to talk to each other like email servers do.

Related to that, I wrote up a brief comparison of what makes Mastodon different from Twitter, in terms of actually using the service.
