I am someone who rarely drinks anymore. But when I do, the very first thing that starts to show up for me is a feeling of love and appreciation for all kinds of humans. It's a great thing to experience — appreciation, awe, admiration. An absolutely delightful state.

Have to say, Mastodon is such an amazing place — scrolling through posts right now brings me great delight. You folks are so amazing. Social networking done all kinds of right.

❤️🤩

Another thing I LOVE about this platform is being able to go back to something you posted ten minutes (or ten days!) ago, and replace that word that has been bugging the fuck out of you because you just knew there was a better word for what you wanted to say but your brain flat out blocked you at the time.

Zo op de laatste dag van het jaar wil ik toch even zeggen dat het hier op Mastodon fijn toeven is. Ik hou van al jullie gewone en bijzondere berichten en van de echtheid hier. Niet alleen het mooie maar ook het lastige en het ongemakkelijke. Ik hoop dat we elkaar, de hoop en de humor vast kunnen blijven houden in het nieuwe jaar. Dat kunnen we volgens mij allemaal wel gebruiken #Oudjaar #MastodonAppreciation

Which service is better, Threads or Twitter?

Mastodon wins.

I absolutely LOVE that my timeline currently consists of nothing but posts about #dogs , developers excited for tomorrow’s #WWDC23 keynote and #pridemonth stories. 😂
Using social media hasn't felt this good in years! ☺️ #MastodonAppreciation
I'd love to sit together with a bunch of nice people from in here, talk about music, have a nice BBQ and enjoy life.
Sadly this will realistically never happen, but it also means that there's great people on metalhead.club (and other instances).

How much am I loving the following hashtags feature. Slow burn to #mastodonappreciation

I have been on #mastodon for nearly a month. With that, I have essentially stopped using #twitter. This is my new online forever home. 🤣 I don't like #toxicity in the water I drink, so I certainly don't need it on the web.

It is so good here. And I think I have finally gotten the hang of all the quirks to this place (I will probably make mistakes and blunders with mastodon, so please be patient and forgiving!). 🙏

Initially, I felt voracious, absorbing all the toots and reading every article. But I think I have reached a saturation point with the amount of toots I am seeing. I am following over 500 people now and as much as I want to #GottaCatchEmAll, I simply can't see all the toots! I have removed my local and federated feeds from the #tusky app because I don't have the time to browse them in addition to my home feed, my hashtag feed, and my notification feed (which is in addition of course to my time in the real world).

So to all my #vegan friends, if you posted a clever, funny, insightful, interesting, topical, controversial, or newsworthy toot about #veganism, #AnimalRights, #AnimalWelfare, and/or their connections to #ClimateChange and the #ClimateEmergency, and I don't favourite it, boost it, or comment on it, it probably means I missed it amongst the sea of other toots, and it wasn't #hashtagged.

Please #hashtag your toots like it's 2007! 🙃🥳🤘

Thank you. ☺️
