PeteStrzokIt's true!
I have Mastodon on one tab and twitter on the next.
I am truly a different person when I go from one to the other.
I become angry, sarcastic on twitter.
Calmer, more open, constructive here.
Amazing.
MissLtoe@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson - the difference is night and beautiful daylight. There is a sense of darkness and evil now permeating twitter. I have both tabs open as well.
Sunny@MissLtoe Hi, I just came over from the bird site to follow you.
tryggth@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson Need one of those pop-up warnings saying "Wouldn't you rather post this on Twitter?"
dearydarling@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson I'm realizing some hard truths about myself. I liked to think I was different, not "had" by social media, in control, but i'm strung-out, a junkie for the newest bit of doom or rage. I'm glad this place exists. It's making me face it. That's the first step.

@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson I've been sneaking back a few times, but I noticed I got anxious and angry, doing lots of doomscrolling. So I deactivated my Twitter account. So now, all is well 🌸🌻🌷
Brad@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson I didn't realize how toxic the "quote tweet" is, but yowza, it really is indicative of a fundamental difference in mentality. I'm actually enjoying my time here.
I still can't look away from the car wreck though, it's really something to see.

PincheHere less than a day and this place just feels nicer and so do I 😂
MichNazzLCN@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson we’ve been programmed…
Ang@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson I just pulled up masto to help destress on a work break. Ain’t never done that with the birdsite!

Gary Hyslop@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson Agree so much. I feel “dark” and anxious there. Here, I’m like “oh cool, new stuff I didn’t know before!” It’s like the internet of old.
McKenna Dean/MK Dean@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson I've noticed the same.
Doggo Uprising@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson it's a cesspit of hatred and I find myself feeling worse and worse every time I look at it. I'm really only there to watch it all blow up after tomorrow. I've only just joined here so it's going to take me a while to navigate but so far so good!
PaulOutBox@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson 👍 I'm doing that too. Need to find good Mastodon App for my Phone...

Guecho LiberatiPete, let's hope it stays that way on Mastodon (and this applies to all of us). I do wonder if there is something in the hyperreal nature of these rapid comms technologies that bypass critical and reflective though simply due to more cognitive effort being required.

This is further proof that Twitter & Facebook are BUILT to create negative feelings (for profit), and also supports the notion that people ARE nice by default. Even online. If you just let them be, and don't provoke them constantly.

MikeFor-profit social media companies want your engagement. If they have to make you angry to that? 🤷🏻♂️
Anna@PeteStrzok Musk should rename twitter to Winter and change bird avatar to snowflake. ..
He is in constant meltdown and so are alt right muppets who worship him.
After GOP loses on Tuesday meltdown is going to be painful and funny to watch.

Semi-Sophisticated Brown Bag@adamdavidson @PeteStrzok yes, absolutely. true content moderation. I don’t need Nazis and general bigots and other trolls in my life. and mastodon appears to be built to much more effectively keep them from my eyeballs.
Robin Guinot 🇺🇸🇫🇷@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson i curse a lot on Twitter. Don’t feel that it’s appropriate here. That’s kinda nuts.
@adamdavidson @PeteStrzok but a good thing.
Freedom4USame. It's a noticable difference!
One2TheMoon@PeteStrzok Good to find you here too..
Dark Brandon, Jedi Master@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson I have noticed this exact phenomenon myself.
Twitter really trained us to be awful, didn't it?
BeeLoverLady@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson feel the same way..angry on Twitter and although still learning the ropes here am feeling among like I among kindred spirits:)
Musique NonStop [TECHNOPOP]@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson I notice on Twitter I love to post about my anxiety & depression, but here, I don’t want to clutter the place up, I want to be more helpful & constructive.
Less navel-gazing.

@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson on Twitter, it’s a zillion voices crying, “ME! ME! ME!”.
Here, the vibe is “WE! WE! WE!”

Teen LaQueefaI love it here too! Twitter is like a bunch of screaming children fighting on the playground and Mastodon is like a low key coffee shop.
𝕽𝖔𝖉𝖗𝖎 / Родри✈️ 🌈 🏒 🇲🇽 🇷🇺@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson I have found exactly the same i check my twitter and find it is stressful and then i come over to hear and it is like walking into a spring garden it's beautiful
Rodrigo Gil@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson I am almost 100% sarcastic on Twitter now. 😀 My first interest on Twitter was to learn a bit more. Unfortunately, it’s very hard to do so. So, I agree with you!
ChopinsHeart@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson Better for BP here. Less heart disease.
MutherBear@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson Can relate. Tbh, I'm liking CoSo conversationally the most.

@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson I've had a similar set of experiences. Yesterday's insight is that hashtags lite #twittermigration are the Mastodon user controlled version of Twitter's algorithm. Now if prominent voices like you can just get @popehat to move over here.. .

Jeff Jachens@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson 100% true! Vent and rage on Twitter, just like the algorithm guides us to do.
Much more serene and cerebral here.

Palin@PeteStrzok
Me too.
Only I deactivated my account when the musky rat finalized his deal.
I could tell the difference in my attitude as soon as I removed myself.

Jessie Bahrey@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson this is my experience
Bruce Cochrane@PeteStrzok Precisely. My Mastodon feed is richly interspersed with photos of #cats, which calms me greatly.
Andrea Young@adamdavidson @PeteStrzok yay! You’re here! I know, weird, we don’t know each other 😊 I have noticed the same. I enjoy this space and experience anxiety with the bird now. #changeisgood
EffinaLavina@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson Same! It’s like a cleansing of the soul.
Htaggert@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson I used to get very snarky on twitter- but the last time I went there- like it was like a tumbleweed situation… so I didn’t feel sarcastic at all
Til Klem@PeteStrzok Yes! Same here! (Glad I found you here,…)
Patty Kimura@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson Twit was built on conflict as its engagement model; Fediverse requires cooperation as its engagement model.
Trump was the exemplar of Twitter.
This is another way to engage. It's weird how normal I feel here, after the deliberately frenetic nature of Twitter. I am learning way more here, actually learning new and unexpected things, and finding jokes to make me laugh.
Robin from Colorado 🇺🇸🇺🇦@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson very glad to see you here. I hope you start posting more
🇨🇦 Monte Alto 🇬🇧@PeteStrzok You're not alone in that. 😆 Enjoy the upcoming weekend.
Paranoid Factoid@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson would have followed sooner had I noticed. Thanks!
Gary SchulzHappily, Pete, I just found you on Post as well and followed you there. Hope to see you posting on that platform as well.
Idrius@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson mastodon is good for your recovery.
It is very true, my 1st post here was concerning the other place and had to be retyped about 3 times and still is barely civil. Pete, I have followed you there for a long time and saw your post there the other day and that's why I am trying this. Seems nice, thanks.
DidiQ@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson Same here. It’s as if we become like the culture of each place lol.
LindaNYC2VT Ⓥ 🌊🐖🐄🐓🦃🐬🐝🦋🦇@PeteStrzok @adamdavidson Close out that Twitter tab. You’ll miss it for about a week. Happy to find you here. 🙏🏼
Jordan de SoCal@PeteStrzok What a weird choice you've made
Mr. Lance E Sloan (IRL) 👤@PeteStrzok
Looks like Twitter "won". That post was almost the last one you made on Mastodon.
