After 1 week on #Mastodon, the biggest difference I notice compared to #Twitter is the way each network makes me feel.

Twitter:
Open, scroll…
“Why are people so horrible to each other?”

Mastodon:
Open, scroll…
“Wow! There are so many interesting people in the world! I want to know more of them.”

I sense being here is changing my perspective of social media. #TwitterMigration

@Sheril It really does feel like 10 years ago, like a comprehensive reboot.
There are glitches! And am sure there will be problems down the road, with real identity for instance, and with people's demands that it be Like Twitter Evn If It's Not. (See: QTs.)
But right now it's so refreshing.

@marynmck @Sheril I really love the lack of QTs. There's no dunking. It's so much better.

Dunking was good for occasional laughs, if I'm being honest - I'm no saint, certainly no better of a person than anyone who's laughed at a good QT dunk - but it was HORRIBLE for the platform as whole. This is...much nicer.
