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 the editing feature is a godsend. Wish other services had it like this.

And I suspect the audience here is a lot more mature/technical than on Twitter/Threads/Bluesky, so we get less trolls and attack posts as a result of that.

The"technical difficulty" of using Mastodon does provide a bit of a "you must be this tall" sign
