So now that we have Posts, how has it been impacting your Mastodon usage (if you’re on it)?

Posts is a much narrower community, so hasn’t affected it. It’s nice because a lot of my industry friends are here, but I have no desire to talk about or be around designers 100% of the time and that’s my main worry going forward. Without other viewpoints, things stale quickly.

Totally here this. I can see my industry friends *attempting* to talk about other stuff 😅 but a lot of the topics are design-adjacent. So I’ll likely continue to explore Mastodon. That said, it’s refreshing how simple, lightweight, and respectful things have been on here.

I like both, but somehow I don’t feel feel 100% comfortable on either. I feel like mastodon tries really hard to be a good place but to me it sometimes feels self righteous. Posts, meanwhile, feels familiar because of the design community but I’m not a designer…

I just want a place for me to be able to post dumb stuff tbh

Let’s post dumb stuff together! I’ll start. I’ve sadly been allergic to avocado since 2020. Still, I couldn’t pass up this tree ornament

I am also allergic to avocado! Solidarity and my sympathies!

Yeah every now and then for sure 😞
