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.
@tuckerjj @marcoarment It’s amazing to me how bad Twitter was, yet how important it is for news and culture. I don’t know if Mastodon will ever get to that level.
