Mastodawn

Andrew Couts Nov 5, 2022

Pros of Mastodon after 9 days:

• rebuilding my follow list got me out of whatever morass I was in on Twitter

• compared to Twitter, there's *way* higher engagement with people overall

• almost everyone's been chill

• there's a learning curve and the capability to build, which is more interesting than numb consumption

• the #brands have yet to arrive

I'm new here, but:

* I am embracing the chance to create a whole new community around the things I like.

* I think seeing the platform so early, you can see how much of a negative impact that the algorithms that are needed to power the ads really are for people. They aren't blind or dumb.
