Having now been on #Mastodon for 1 month, a few observations:

- Mastodon makes me realize how much the #Twitter algorithm maximized user outrage to boost engagement for profit. Gross. Here, my feed is interesting & supportive.

- There's a culture of kindness - at least so far. It's extremely appealing & should be normalized on & offline.

- Beyond reactions to toots, people share songs, poetry & ask great questions. I can't remember the last time I found social media to be fun.

@theexile @InfectivitySuziA @Sheril 😂 I once had three cats. That was my limit. I have a friend who traps ferals, gets them fixed, and releases them in her woods. She always puts food out for them that the opossums share.

@InfectivitySuziA @Sheril I agree! Bring on the dogs, cats, pigs, horses, and kids/grandkids. Birthdays, anniversaries of any sort, marriages, & accomplishments. Hurts too, deaths, cancer treatment, divorce, shunning, etc. I want to say I'm sorry and send virtual hugs in support.
