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.

@chriscaple I agree. I had thought that I wasn’t affected by the nastier side of Twitter - until I changed over to #Mastodon Over here feels like Twitter used to in the beginning,and given how it is set up, I honestly can’t see how it could ever end up the same way.
