One plus side of Mastodon is that people that you've known for a long time aren't coming on here and sacrificing long-standing friendships over petty arguments over the role of social media in society
@ernie i'd like mastodon to stay as slow as it is right now. like the waiting period for gun purchases, it will let some adrenaline drain out of people who are so quick and eager to fight on twitter. by the time the page loads to reply they'll think better of it! (I hope)
