The comment culture has all but disappeared, notes Alan Levine. There's no one reason. "Not that attention is my purpose or goal, but really, there is so much more stuff out there, that we are swimming in it. But heck, a small but of validation goes a long way, and I don't see much by some heart click icon." True. But as I comment, the platforms drive comments - it used to be, people world link to their blog post on Twitter, people would follow and comment. The platform drives the comments - but this is much less the case in Mastodon, though I suspect this will change in time.
