I've been on Mastodon for a week. This has been my experience so far.

* Feelings of stress, anxiety, and hopeless anger at the general state of the world: -80%

* Friendliness and positive vibes: +80%

* Pictures of cats, fungi, cloud formations, and miscellaneous cool things: +5,000%

@iamstevenrivers I noticed the same. A lot less snark and sarcasm too. Also a lot less idiot hot takes for clicks. All much more calming.
