Has anyone else who uses #Mastodon as their main social media platform noticed a far lower level of personal stress?

After several months I feel almost like I’ve moved to a much, much better neighborhood with really great neighbors.

Personally, I am still concerned with lots of socioeconomic, environmental, and other issues the world faces, but I feel far less stressed about them.

It’s just better in so many ways.

@kevin It's definitely better here than on Twitter or Facebook, but still I think time spent on Mastodon overall raises my stress level rather than lowering it.

@diazona @kevin honestly it doesn't lower my stress being on here compared to not being on here (I haven't used any other social media for 3 or 4 years, so I just comparing using Mastodon with not using Mastodon). It is a nicer place to be from what I remember but not less stressful per se
