Not sure what that has to do with my use case. I'm not interested in what Joey from school did, you are correct. That's why i'm not on Facebook.
If Joey started creating Art in the category i'm interested in then i would be. Because i'm interested in the content, specifically. Mastodon feels a good platform to push and pull said content, when compared to Forums at least.
You seem to be arguing something entirely outside of what i'm describing. As if my use case is somehow a misguided drug addiction that i don't even have yet. Remember, i've not and never have been on FB/Twitter. How can you equate me to a cigarette smoker when i don't yet smoke?
We're probably not going to agree, and I trust you understand your own needs and wants better than I do. Have a good weekend, I apologize for mischaracterizing you with a generalization.
Oh no worries, though i'm happy to better understand your thoughts on this subject. I don't think you generalized me either, we're still exchanging information/facts in this discussion. Apologies if i came off harsh.
I just think it's safe to say that i'm definitely not addicted to traditional social media.. by the fact that i'm not on any of them. I'd be willing to accept the argument that i am addicted to HN, though i do think i take reasonable steps to mitigate that.
BUT, i'm not sure if you'd classify HN as Social Media in the same way that FB/Twitter is.
