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.

my post continues to resonate with folks. i’m so glad.

i almost didn’t write it. but i had mentioned to a friend a couple days ago that i felt embarrassed i was by my mood change.

i had been letting twitter control my mood — probably for years. i really thought with good filters and so forth, i was in control. i felt in control. i wasn’t.

only the sudden change made it visible enough to finally notice.
