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 I've felt this twice now. Once a few years ago when I just deleted my Facebook account one morning. It was liberating. Then again recently when I did the same with twitter. Done with all that shit. I don't like everything I see on Mastodon but it feels like other humans rather than an algorithm.

@neilgall exactly exactly.

i had the same experience with facebook but hadn’t kicked twitter.

instagram is still on my phone — but it’s killed itself. every time i open it i just 🤮.
