Mastodawn

If I was to nominate the two things I find most striking about Mastodon they'd be:

1. the ability to edit posts after posting; this (as my followers will know) is a facility that I use a lot (and thanks to my great crew of typo spotters);

2. the norm of civility that we all maintain; of course trolling & slamming is not completely absent, but at least in my timeline & discussions/conversations civility have been the over-riding characteristic of my exchanges.

@ChrisMayLA6 These two features are fantastic - but there's another that is an order of magnitude more important - and enormously more satisfying!

And that is that the messages in my feed arrive raw and unfiltered from the people I follow in the order that they write them.

No algorithm.
No manipulation of what I see.
No idiot box in my pocket.

Nirvana!
