I didn’t know I needed this word, but I definitely do.

I did end up creating an account, but I’m not sure about posting my handle here as I want to keep the things separate (especially as I’m using my name on mastodon).

Aha! Sounds like we just have different definitions of “content creator”, that just sounds like a normal account to me.

This was probably just me confusing things =]. I used to post all my blog posts etc on Twitter, but I have no intention of doing that on Mastodon. I didn’t spend enough time ensuring there was a distinction between the two platforms.

Fyi it’s also a custom to make an intro post when you join, tag it with #introduction and just let people know what to expect from your account. Load it up with the relevant tags so people watching them find your account, it’s usually a good way to kick things off and get some initial followers.

Ah ok, thanks! I have already started posting but I’ll do that anyway. Thanks :)

I’m not interested in promoting or advertising. The vast majority of my tweets where just sharing random things I came across while working, or reminders when I encounter gotchas (e.g. slices as function parameters in Go).

Being completely honest, not overly interested in meeting people either. I’ll give it a few months and see how it goes :)

Thanks! Maybe I’ll give it a go then!

Is mastodon worth signing up for, as a content creator?

I used to be a pretty avid tweeter - I’d post random things related to my job (software engineer), like gotchas I encountered, new articles I’d written etc etc, but I left Twitter when a certain somebody took over.

I’m not bothered about a large following, but I did enjoy randomly helping people that would see my tweets and fix their issue / help with the thing they were working on.
