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.

@Sheril joined here about a week ago and am still trying to figure this out. Hard to find the peeps I followed on Twitter here and what’s with the split screen basically showing me two parallel feeds?

@globalnomad @Sheril One feed “local” is of all of the people who signed up on the same server or instance as you. The other is the federated feed which is everyone who is using Mastodon and publishing their “toots” globally.
