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. I hadn’t realized how bad it was until I was here for awhile and had some time to decompress.

@nuthatch @isaiah 😂 Fair enough. (He was talking about the rage farming on Twitter.)

@Yup_Its_Holly “rage farming” is a great description — i’ve never heard that one before did you just make that up? so apropos.

i might have to steal that one. 😁

@isaiah Steal away. I first heard it on the bird app. It is often used to describe Republican and Canadian Conservative politicians who spend their time hooking people on faux outrage so that they don’t have to admit that they have no solutions to actual problems.
