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 @annedraya It’s amazing how addictive that rage is.

@TammyGentzel @annedraya oddly it never appealed to me. the exact opposite really. it made me use twitter less and less.

but the 2nd hand smoking sort of impact it was having in my psyche sure was something. maybe not addicting per se — but potent for sure.
