Some initial thoughts on Mastodon:

Oscar Wilde declared that great minds discuss ideas and small minds discuss people. And I feel that this is also the difference between Mastodon and Twitter. I feel calm and thoughtful here. I don't feel as if someone will stab me in the back. I don't know how long this will last, but it does remind me of the early blogging days.

The additional characters are obviously useful for a verbose motherfucker like me. Maybe that's part of the secret.

@edwardchampion As a philosopher by training, I, too, proudly enjoy being a gadfly
@OutisMetis Good to meet a fellow gadfly! Who knows? Maybe we can get people appreciating Lina Wertmuller films again! 🤣🤣 #gadfly #gadfliesunite
