From a societal point of view, that's a pretty sad read. I recently created a mastodon account--I'm not entirely sure why but I always wanted to give it a try--and this is exactly the kind of thing that has kept me from posting anything yet. It's kind of just shouting into a void and not knowing what kind of response will come back (if any, given the platform).
At least with platforms like Lemmy, there is a clearly defined topic of discussion, and generally with like-minded contributors.
His "thread" has been featured or popped up to people who doesnt share interests though.
For Mastodon I recommend to follow interesting accounts, set own language, check instances from nearby location.
Also follow hashtags!
