LLI feel like I'm cheating on Twitts here...it's weird 🤔
Cathy Fry@LL it is weird, and a little dull
Tony thefathippy@CathyFry @LL it's certainly much slower, and for some reason, shitposting and snappy snark don't work nearly as well here.
But you know, I don't mind Mastodon. I'm spending much less time on the birdsite, and as a bonus, considerably less time angry 😂 All that said, I miss the adrenalin, dopamine, and great people I've yet to find/haven't switched.
Janine van Hell 🇦🇺🇨🇦@thefathippy @CathyFry @LL @Spoon I still want to discuss the topics of the day with people. I still want to come here for my news. The bird site was great for that
Nearly Normal (=>÷)@thefathippy @CathyFry @LL you're right. Im off Twitter but just got one leg up on Mastodon. I may go off social media for good anyway because there was a cut and thrust that I enjoyed at times. I love my peace and quiet , I love my serenity and meditative awareness but I'm not such a sad character to expect this from social media.
Bruce@LL you should know better :-)
Punctilious Trix@LL some of us came here with you lol
@punctilious I like it when people come with me. Too much? Ok, going to sleep 😂
@LL Never too much
Chrisofthefarm@LL @punctilious just remember you came first.....and that's the way it's meant to be.....
@LL I really don’t know what’s going to happen over there but standards are dropping fast. Facebook started as a fairly safe place and became a RW sewer. Twitter was a safe haven that has been invaded now. It’s sad, but nothing is permanent in life
@tg_greg my honest opinion is that it is down to humans and how they behave. Sure, there are RWers and the big name fools who can ruin a platform and certainly how it is administered can have a very big impact. But, my greatest sadness and difficulties from FB and Twitts has come from individual human behaviour. Nastiness, betrayal, manipulation etc. and that is not politics dependent. It's personality dependent. I hope it's different here, at least for now before it gets too big
@LL Yes my life experience is pretty similar. And the more you care the more it hurts. I am sure some people I know would have been hurt by me. I strive to do my best by others and to keep it to a minimum. I also believe you get to a point when betrayal doesn’t throw you off as much as it did before. I haven’t posted much here yet. It’s going to be slow going for a while. So many contacts on Twitter I not keen to church it in. Nice to hear from you. 😌
