At this point, I just think you can tell EVERYTHING about a social media platform based on whether it brings out the best or worst in its users. When you get away from an environment and realize you’re shocked at common decency, that says something.
@sophie Everything is about vibes
@sophie I curated my bird acct so it was like this anyway so I’m not seeing much difference from my Tw in civility and decency. Kinda nice to realise.
@sophie
PLUS you don't have to work extra hours to curate your own feed and block bots/bad actors.
@sophie so far every social platform I joined I eventually quit due to a value disagreement. This is looking promising though
@sophie You're so right! Quite the eye-opener, isn't it?
@sophie watching people come off of Twitter and on Mastodon is like so many people taking the red pill!
@sophie It is such a relief to not feel rushed and worried.
@sophie my account on the rotting bird site was going no where, and couldn’t cut through all the bloomin’ toxic behaviour on it. Since joining this place it’s a relief to see common decency and kindness again. And dare I bloomin’ say at this time of year, ‘Christmas spirit’.
@sophie I think this applies to life in general.
@sophie Until you said this, I don't think I realized what a tea-sipping drama llama the birdie morphed me into! What a time to be alive.
