"As with any social medium, Mastodon is only as good as the people that choose to use it and what they choose to say on there. In all likelihood, Mastodon won't be a like-for-like replacement for anything that has gone before. It will be its own thing."

@MJCarty thank goodness for it’s own thing. Intentional community is a good thing. I think about all the folks that were on Mastodon before the Twitter migration, before Twitter folks were trying to make Mastodon like Twitter, I wonder if the structure of Mastodon itself has kept the migration from negatively impacting their experience? (Other than slow site at times). #virturalrefugees . I wonder how many will stay if the bird gets itself together?

@KarenMonroy Interesting questions all!

It would be particularly interesting to hear the perspective of long-established Mastodon users on whether it has changed much or at all these past few weeks. If it has, I hope not for the worse!

@MJCarty @KarenMonroy It has changed because there are many more people now, which is generally a good thing. Comments are kinder, seems more grown up than the bird.

@lostgardening I know what you mean about the kinder and more grown-up feel to Mastodon - nicely put. @KarenMonroy
