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 One of the most delightful things Iโ€™ve found is that accounts who are purely political activists on Twitter, are โ€œreal peopleโ€ here. They donโ€™t seem to be afraid to show the human side - cat lover, book enthusiast, photographer, etc. - so I feel Iโ€™m getting to know the person, too.
@schfinkes @thetitanborn same here. Iโ€™m just going around following everyone that shows a real, sensitive side. Itโ€™s much more peaceful for me here
