Don’t get me wrong, and the question is completely genuine.

One of the things I miss - albeit a little - about Twitter was the learning I was able to do on certain topics, for free.

Obviously I had to really, really filter what I wanted to see on Twitter, to be able to read interesting things and learn some things regarding different topics - like football, music, etc…

While Lemmy, in my opinion, is an excellent and better alternative to reddit and WriteFreely seems like a viable and best alternative to blogger/medium, I would like to know if in your opinion, places like Mastodon or Pleroma are, in fact, an alternative to twitter. I would like to know your opinion.

I confess that in this aspect I miss Twitter a bit, because I could see content from people trained and studies in topics I wanted to read, but I don’t know what the content is like, in general, on Mastodon, Pleroma, etc…

Taking into account is Twitter is a mass social network, will it be difficult to find this type of thing on Mastodon, Pleroma, etc?
