I started using Mastodon when I moved off Twtr as people I wanted to follow moved there. I prefer open platforms anyway. I use it in a fairly simple way so I just use the web interface and that works pretty well on PC and mobile.
I have found that a lot of people there are anti-crypto/blockchain, but I have not had too much hassle over posting Hive stuff and I found a few Hivers there.
A while back someone was experimenting with linking Hive to the Fediverse. It ought to be possible via some sort of bridge, but I don't know the details. That could expand our audience, but then some nodes might block it. I try to tell people that Hive is not like some other crypto in that it is not an energy hog. It is an open platform of course.
Interesting. I came to. Mastodon accidentally when I looked for Nostr and went to Nostr. From Nostr someone recommended Hive. I don't like the way the world is going and the centralized systems. I like decentralized, freedom and to have a own voice!
There are some real open/decentralised purists out there, but I am pragmatic about what I use. I am still on FB to stay in touch with people, but Twtr got toxic. With Hive and Mastodon I have enough going on.
I keep my centralized, but I don't use it that much anymore. Facebook will will uninstall and twitter never made it to my new phone.
