The last couple of days I experienced something that I never felt since I’ve been using Fediverse services. For the first time since half a year ago, I felt like actually being sucked into the Fediverse. I only realized it a couple of days later that I hadn’t looked into Twitter and that’s the crucial point: didn’t even felt like I was missing something or had even the urge to do so. I had actually forgot that I was in the Fediverse, I had felt home. But then suddenly I felt like: oh, what if I did miss something? I again opened TwitterX (didn’t miss anything).
It was also not a purely positive experience, it also concerned me a bit for reasons I do not know yet.
Anyone else experienced this? Is there a word for it?
Yeah, I’m on The Site Formerly Known As Twitter for artists, not gossip. Fortunately, the artist who drew my avatar (and who is a dear friend, Arsbin) is also on Mastodon, but she’s about the only one. TwitterX exploded in popularity in Japan when Elon took over for some reason, so my other dear friend, Nami, probably won’t leave anytime soon.
