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 This is actually how Twitter used to be when I joined it (2007). I barely registered its slide into awfulness consciously, but that was probably because the whole world was on the same slide.

Which raises an interesting question about cause, effect and conflation, I guess.
