I noticed something just now while scrolling Mastodon after having just scrolled Twitter. I found myself smiling, feeling connected, and enjoying the time I spent here. On Twitter my brows were furrowed, stressed, exposed to BS like reinstating Trump polls. I know it’s convoluted here but I’m liking the people I’m running into and what they post. I’m going to check in here more often. It’s actually FUN.

@maureenherman I agree, it totally does have a cosy feel to it. Feels less frantic, and I have a sense that I'm in control of my own feed and contact.

I think it may be down to the designed in friction of discovery.
