Qasim Rashid, Esq.Nov 29, 2022

Today is my 1 month anniversary of signing up for Mastodon. A few observations—after spending 13+ years on Twitter:

•The Mastodon community is kinder & more focused on lifting one another up than tearing down.

•Mastodon is learning from Twitter's mistakes by including accessibility options, incorporating an edit button, & not centralizing everything

•Engagement is not dependent on clickbait or outrage, but genuine positive content.

None of the above are absolutes, but overall, glad I'm here.

@QasimRashid Very few of my former Twitter community is here, but I hope they will join. It’s a nice community.

I’m on Post.news too, and it seems to be the shiny coin for the moment. But maybe they should have worked out their moderation and bugs before they let everyone (including me) in. I much prefer Mastodon right now.

@anjy @QasimRashid yes, post seems like it's making the same mistakes as twitter - monetizing communication. So it can't avoid growing into the same tempting dish for the next elon.

@SusanKraemer @QasimRashid I find the tipping system distasteful too. And of course, the only people who will be tipped are the influencers and popular… (privileged) people.

I won’t use a single coin.
