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?

    I hardly use reddit at this point. I never used twitter. In fact, using the Fediverse got me curious and decided to check out Mastodon. Just been using it for a few days and trying out stuff and must say I am kind of enjoying it.

        I have started following hashtag, like books, reading, technology, cats, dogs, etc. I have also started following a few people that I have noticed share content that I am interested in. I am finding interesting content. Also, certain amount of engagement in the comments. So far, a good experience. It’s only been a few days, however.
