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.
A very cool thing about Mastodon is that I’m not constantly seeing the dumbest of debates like “is SwiftUI production ready?” I didn’t even use the algorithmic timeline, but since those tweets performed well the algorithm would rank those tweets highly and inject them into the timeline of anyone I followed who used the algorithmic timeline. Then the people I followed would tweet their own takes, which meant I was constantly being bombarded with the dumbest of takes even though I used Tweetbot.
