It's been a bit over 3 years since I've joined #Mastodon after the big Twitter meltdown. It took me a while to warm up to Mastodon (and to learn how to use it properly), but today it's probably my favourite social network.

For a while I was using Bsky a bit more, as it reminded me of the good old days of Twitter, but gradually my usage patterns shifted to Mastodon. I still use Bsky (mostly to rant about Bulgarian politics these days), but in my mind Mastodon is my "home" social network.

There are still some things that I find frustrating (e.g. things like likes and boosts always seem to be out of sync on various clients), but you can't have it all, right? On the bright side - at least I'm sure this network won't be flooded with ads one day…

Still, I often miss the simple days when everyone was using a single network…
