Observations after being on #Mastodon for about a month:

- At least so far, there is a culture of friendliness. It's quite alluring and it should become standard both online and offline.

- We were made aware of how much the Twitter algorithm emphasized user outrage in order to increase engagement and increase revenue. Our feed is fascinating and helpful here.

- In addition to responding to toots, people often submit poetry, songs and thoughtful questions. #Twitter was never so enjoyable.

@thetitanborn I fully agree. This is the beneficial effect of Mastodon being a decentralized open source platform, owned effectively by its users, as oposed to a comercial one, now in adition being owned by an ego-maniac.
