My favorite thing about Mastodon so far is that, when I release a post out into the ether, other people seem to see and read it. It had been so long since I could do that on Twitter that I'd basically given up using it as anything but a news feed.
@Amp300 odd isn't it! I'm still trying to get used to that.
@Amp300 I've read this. And replied. And Favorited. And Boosted. 
@Amp300 A social network that is actually social! Not just a bunch of people competing for attention. Good stuff.
