This by @marcoarment nicely conveys why I'm feeling good about using Mastodon, had no desire to sign up for Hive, Post or any of the other Twitter clones now popping up, and why Twitter also feels icky in comparison.

Seconded! I enjoyed that part of the discussion about being on Mastadon, and @marcoarment and @caseyliss describing the Ivory alpha got me excited about the potential for the new @tapbots client.
I was pretty much off Twitter since they screwed third-party developers, and I feel like Mastadon has some of that Twitter circa 2008 mojo I've missed since then. Admittedly, I may be jumping the gun, but I like what I am seeing and experiencing so far.
