Mastodawn

isaiah Jan 27, 2023

after a few weeks on mastodon without much thought about twitter i’ve noticed a distinct change in my own mood.
i think twitter force-feeding us rage inducing tweets every day was having more of an impact on my psyche than i care to admit.

i didn’t follow much politics and always used Twitteriffic — but the people i followed retweeted their algorithmic rage all day every day.

i really feel like i owe someone a thank you for giving me this piece of my life back that’s been missing for years.

@isaiah yes. This happened to me. I used TweetDeck and never set region on Twitter. So when I saw people mad for something was weird, because all would start the rage at the same time, almost as it was something artificial.

For a time I suspected troll centers doing this for political advance (that happened before in my country) but now I believe it was just Twitter's algorithms telling them that their world is ending.

After a few weeks I notice how I've become more positive overall.
