I thank you, Mastodon, and all parties involved here, for helping me to disengage from the outrage machine that was prevalent in That Other Place. I've stopped doomscrolling. I've gotten used to relaxing, fascinating discussions without the interruption of random trolling nastiness. I didn't realize how bleak my brain was getting until that went away. Y'all are so fabulous. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (caveat: I know this isn't a utopia. I'm not implying so. Just being deeply appreciative)
