I’m finding that #Mastodon is helping me develop a more healthy approach to social media. The timeline doesn’t scroll forever (there’s a bottom!), & the feeds and filters mean there’s a few definite places I check for new interesting posts & then I’m done. Lots of discussion, often about hard & important topics, but no perpetual outrage that screams at me through the screen, & much less ‘both sides’ journalism that seeks to normalise the absurd & the untrue.

I log on, I share, I log off. Nice.

@annedraya @ljwrites Oh seriously, it was astounding how much of a difference it made back when I quit Twitter a few years ago and came here. I realised there wasn't the ever-present "Gotta refresh the timeline!" feeling lurking in the back of my head.
