I don't know if my experience is broadly representative of The Mastodon Experience In General, or if it's going to hold, but... maaaaan alive I'm enjoying this.

Choosing to remain on twitter is like opting to stay in a closed room with no windows or ventilation that's gradually being pumped full of poisonous gas.

Mastodon's very literally (by which I mean metaphorically) a breath of fresh air.

It really is - I didn’t realize that Twitter was such a stressor until leaving.

@greenorchids Right? Same. I can't even begin to describe how much my mental health has improved since deleting my account.
