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.

You are so spot on with this indeed…

And both are in fact about quality in discussion, thinking a layer deeper beyond the surface. Beyond the moment…

And as a third I would say the absence of algorithms, the fact that you seed it yourself by following people and those following you.
