I feel like I used to have that same feeling too, and I think that may be the wrong mindset to have about how to use it. I think it's almost like a subconscious expectation that corporate social media has trained into us, which has been draining our drive for healthy interactions online.
I'm still mostly a lurker on Mastodon, but I'm trying to see the platform as more of an open way to broadcast yourself to certain audiences. I'm trying to realize it's potential in how it can allow healthy, self-perpetuating interactions in a way that's kind of different from the types of interactions you get from content aggregators.
I've noticed that it kind of builds on itself over time, if you continue to use it and continue to browse the explore feeds and stuff like that. Anyway, maybe don't give up on it just yet?
That's unfortunate. I play mostly platformers and action rpg's, I kind of wonder if those types would do alright on a setup like that. I've also been considering something like a steam deck or handheld pc. I haven't been doing much gaming for a while now, mostly because my accessibility/comfort is too low I think. I'd like that to change though.
