1. Anything genuine, really. Conversations among strangers becoming friends, people sharing knowledge, differing perspectives
2. More dog/cat posts lol (although, I followed a lot of animal accounts on birdsite to compensate for the negativity there)
3. People can be weird and themselves, and no ads
4. Nothing much
5. 5!

@Neeneen @Deepsealioness I completely forget about the ads! Yes that too! :)

@ajeeshrp7 @Neeneen @Deepsealioness It's like you are in hill station and you have completely forgotten about the toxic Air in cities.

@Vishsai @Neeneen @Deepsealioness exactly! Their absence is what made me totally forget about them.

@ajeeshrp7 @Vishsai @Deepsealioness all the better for our mental health

Yet: toxicity exists and a lot of people are still facing it there/irl.

@Neeneen @Vishsai tell me about it. Only today I schooled a hypocrite complaining against JNU strikes saying people should pay otherwise they will make spelling mistakes in future. His comment with two sentences had four grammatical errors. Smh.

@ajeeshrp7 @Vishsai worse when it happens in real life because you can't block them out. Even worse when it's family or people you work with. But I feel like having a safe, sane space to come back to is important, and this place seems like it for now :)

@Neeneen @ajeeshrp7 Just a question to both of you, have you started breathing better when you are using Mastodon? If you haven't checked just concentrate on the breathing when you use birdsite and mastodon for ten minutes.

For me I feel I have started breathing better and was wondering if it is the same for others.

@Vishsai @Neeneen I might be exaggerating but I actually felt the difference. Not in birdsite though. Facebook and Instagram. The later is filled with sexist abuses also!!

@ajeeshrp7 Deleted facebook last year and haven't logged into instagram for 6 months. Maybe that's why it hits me twitter as I only used it. Don't even use whatsapp @Neeneen

@Vishsai @Neeneen I have some dependencies as of now, but I even I have plans. Instagram hatred can be reduced if I control myself from browsing through each and every comment! :|

@ajeeshrp7 @Vishsai I'm following far less Indians on birdsite and I use it now only to catch up on stuff that happens in the UK/US/Canada. But yeah, there's a difference!

Instagram isn't as toxic for me but it does add to FOMO. I haven't used FB in forever. But all of them have ads and I'm definitely feeling the difference of not having a product shoved into my face because they think they know I need it.

@Neeneen @Vishsai that's how I would also put it! :)
