       The recent reporting on #Mastodon being empty by people who barely even tried to follow any people is disingenuous. I have a *way* more lively feed here on Mastodon, while following less than a half of the people I follow on #Twitter.

       Months ago I committed to never judge the number of posts in my timeline until I had the same exact number of follows I had on Twitter. Turns out I didn't need that many to have a similar number of posts in my home feed here.

       @Paarsec How many of those reporting have been here for a significant amount of time?

       @zleap unsure. I read of someone who created an account, followed 20 users and then wrote a piece on how empty it felt. There’s a lot of positive reporting too, but there’s been a streak of negative articles last week which felt like a lot of journalists were simply jumping on a bandwagon to shit on it, to be quite honest.
