Truth is not an echo chamber, accepting other people who aren't hurting anyone just by existing isn't an echo chamber, kindness isn't an echo chamber.

I don't need to consider "alternate beliefs" that are just lies. There's this idea that if I'm not constantly reading stuff by straight up Nazis, that I won't understand that they are Nazis. Not having to read nonsense as possible facts is one of the really cool things about having critical thinking skills.

When I read research papers about how other platforms will spread toxic waste before your very eyes within seconds of making your first post, I have no regrets about choosing to spend my time here.

Here I am educated, entertained and have constructive conversation.

If those things don’t appeal to folks, they are welcome to go back to the Hellscape that is X and Meta, whose owners have kissed the ring of #Trump.

@JugglingWithEggs @RickiTarr For me, this post was one of the funniest (and truest) takes on Mastodon I've seen: https://aus.social/@Teal/110681495592447792

Coming to Mastodon from Twitter feels like busting in the door loudly brandishing a half drunk bottle of tequila and finding everyone sitting in horrified silence holding cups of tea and academic papers
