Having tried all three, its a stark difference in how much more social Lemmy is comparatively. Its not even close. Almost all posts I’ve encountered on lemmy have interaction; whereas, more often than not, posts on the other two platforms have no interaction. Wonder what the driving factor is behind this difference?

    The blog style format (post + threaded comments) is a lot more inviting to a conversational style than microblogging. Some Masto instances have very open post character counts but some are much more limiting - as are Bluesky and Xitter. If you’re not able to explain your point clearly it hampers the ability to have a decent conversation about it.

      explain your point clearly with unittests. Then we are talking.

      Prove it’s true otherwise it’s just conjecture. A missive. A random thought, or G’d forbid, good intentions.

        I’ll save you the time: “It’s just conjecture”.

          yeah there is a lotta that floating around.

          i feel locked in a cage with the proverbial monkey

          shiats getting tossed everywhere. Dodging works for a time.

          Eventually wanted more outta life than successive rounds of the classic game, space invaders.

          People opening their mouths, whatever comes out, should be backed up with something. Even better if can interact with that something

            You don’t really pay much attention do you Mr “look for the signal”?

              u are right

              just confirmed my point

              either i’m defective or thoroughly distracted by a never ending stream of disjointed conversation threads that just blend together and lead no where.

              Was there ever any hope of forming a long last relationship? Or is that never been in the cards?

              Are we just thread participants for the life time of this thread?

                just confirmed my point

                Or maybe you’re so used to posting on a platform that’s bad to hold a conversation on you don’t notice when you’re part of one on a platform that is good at being conversational on.
