Here's one difference between #Mastodon and #Post (I'm not a fan of Post): I posted (at Post) a question about how something works over there. I got 2 "thumbs up" but no answers.

If I do that here, I get a wonderful onslaught of suggestions, replies helping me through the issue.

This has been a public service announcement.

@GottaLaff I was just going to toot about how much I love Mastodon too! The toots are timely and the people are polite. It's like social media Canadian style.

I 2nd your public service announcement..

@DWade25 @GottaLaff

One thing I really love is the absence of unwanted rightwing crap and the ever-present tweeting of Elmo.

Over the past few months my bird timeline was invaded by cranks and crazies and my normal follows seemed to disappear. I miss them so much. How nice to find some of them here! And meet new friends.

@nastynana16 I totally agree! I'm so used to the constant attacks on the bird that it took a bit to get used to the peacefulness and thoughtful discussions here. It's just so nice! And I love the way it's set up..
