Randahl FinkFacebook is where you realize, you don’t like the people you know.
Mastodon is where you start liking people, you have never met.
Mina Hanse@randahl It's great to see so many people have joined recently.
Air8orne@randahl Facebook was a failure.
rusty@randahl sadly true.
Mar :🌻@randahl Well said.

@randahl spot on 👍
Chris Hubbs (he/him)@randahl Another way I've heard it said: FB is the people you went to high school with; Mastodon is the people you *wish* you went to high school with. :-)

John Meadows@randahl Bingo. I’m growing increasingly appalled at people on FB I thought were smarter, obediently signing up for Threads.
@randahl No one has taught me more about anti-Christian attitudes and behaviors than my own Goddamned family. All that matters for us is that we are kind to them; all that matters for them is that we don't discuss the truth. That's their choice, but we see their foolishness -- my mother claims Trump never cheated on his wives. Oh well. What is important is that I tried to tell them the truth; the rest is their responsibility. Lovingkindness wins again, for my family, at least!

LOL There's some truth in there.

James Ryland Miller@randahl That’s a great way to think of the platform differences!
Jan Dytrych🇨🇿🇺🇦@randahl so true! 🙂
WayofCats@randahl @LibertyForward1 I'm not thrilled with the No Hashtags on Thread. Limited search.
Jake in the desert@randahl just like Twitter used to be years ago. Love it here!
Kévin ⏚@randahl Facebook always had a knack of suggesting people who were horrible. Remember those kids who bullied you in school ? Here they all are !

That hasn't been my experience.
I've actually had a good experience with Facebook. I believe that is the result of only friending people I know from real life and blocking obnoxious people in the few Facebook groups I used. Facebook also has features to keep people I know in real life who are difficult people listed as "Friends" while hiding their content and hiding my content from them.
I've gotten to know a *few* people via Mastodon because I had the good fortune to find a niche sub for ONE of my interests and for the "Local" link which Mastodon developers are trying to obscure. :-). Most of my other interests are absent from Mastodon.
So far, the most interesting conversations, like this one, that I have found on Mastodon have been through the "Explore" link.
Most "Explore" posts are by experts trying to get a message out, or people "building a brand", so that doesn't lend itself to making e-friends in my experience.
Christopher Walker@randahl Nextdoor is where you realize good god my neighbors are psycho, I need to move.
🇳𝗮ꜟ𝖼𝘩@randahl Yup. I do still have a FB presence, but only to take part in some motorcycle groups. I deleted my main profile after getting sick of my brother in law posting right wing shit and reposting those ridiculous "warning" things.

@stargazersmith Follow for more. 🙂
Joseph@randahl by people you mean cats right? 😁😂
YAYSUU@randahl wouldn't that just be any social media which has the option to friend or follow
it's pretty subjective

@randahl a family gathering at a funeral versus a convention for a shared interest.
@lawlznet "Sure you like uncle Tom! He's your uncle!!!"
Mariner@randahl
A funny quote.
However, took me a couple of years before i blocked the first person on facebook.
Took only a few weeks before it happened here.
Still like it here. A lot actually.

pino@randahl Facebook was also the place where you told the FB-deniers: "I don't give a shit about you if you are not here" since ~15 years. ;)
@randahl Sounds a bit less positive and cuddly, but is also an undeniable part of the truth, no?
MichaelCabus@randahl absolutely

NoctisEqui 🇺🇦🇵🇸🇪🇹🏳️🌈I ended going on FB & posting things early in 2017. In many ways I interacted more with strangers then people I knew. Some that I ‘knew’ from college with whom I posted to on politics never even acknowledged my presence. I was already using the ‘F’ word: Fascist. It seems from the small sample I had, most everybody I knew in the WayBack were ‘conservative’. Well I was only on there to see ‘how the stories ended’. Not very well IMHO.
Masto is lovely, photos, adventures, thoughts.

Matjö@randahl it might be the best moment ever for deleting both #Facebook and #Instagram before even getting started with #Threads. Do it now before #meta has you 360.

Yaksh Bariya@randahl Yes, I'm surprised how well moderated Fediverse is, and even the trending page is not a disaster
invispace@randahl more accurate words...
Scott the F is implicit Baxter@randahl I don't like anybody very much. I guess that makes me a Twitter person?
Marton👾@randahl Most of my friends on Facebook are IRL and boring on social media.
