My home timeline seems broken since a few hours, I only see things I boosted but normally there are other posts every couple of minutes
I'm watching Traumazone now, a documentary about Soviet Union / Russia from 1985 to 1999. That closely matches the time I lived there and it's incredibly interesting, traumatic, and perhaps also therapeutic

CW = Content warning (you see CW as a button, when you want to post something).

If you put in a CW (lets say for example: Covid) users see "covid" as a header for your post and can choose themselves, if they want to read about that specific topic.

If so, they just need to click and the post will become visible. If not, they will not need to read or see the post.

It's a really cool feature and helps people a lot.

See the header/CW over this post?

After 1 week on #Mastodon, the biggest difference I notice compared to #Twitter is the way each network makes me feel.

Twitter:
Open, scroll…
“Why are people so horrible to each other?”

Mastodon:
Open, scroll…
“Wow! There are so many interesting people in the world! I want to know more of them.”

I sense being here is changing my perspective of social media. #TwitterMigration

In most cases it's not appropriate to call yourself a refugee

No wonder Elon was in such a hurry to fire all those people who hold the bots and trolls in check. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/06/technology/russia-misinformation-midterms.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
Investing less time in Twitter and more time in Mastodon feels like I'm graduating high school and trying to figure out 1st year undergrad at Uni. It's a bit confusing and I can't find all my friends yet, but it's so much cooler and way more legit.
