made this for a reply but i feel like it deserves its own post

This is your doom-scrolling wrapped!

You spent 42,277 minutes doom-scrolling, putting you in the top 5% of doom-scrollers!

Your top doom-scrolling topics were: US politics, climate news, & the pandemic.

Your favorite time to doom-scroll was when you should have been sleeping.

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement.

For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"—let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously).

"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.

There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.

It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.

Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.

TKACHUK WITH TIP AND THE GORDIE HOWE TO TIE IT! 100TH CAREER POINT! #Sens #GoSensGo

Cannot remember the last time a portly man in a straw boater said “why I oughta...” but then stopped short of saying what he oughta.

We used to be a country. A proper country.

Why does #Sportsnet even bid on #Senators games? They never cover the Sens during segments. It's all #Leafs, Leafs, Leafs all the time.

I am just dying right now! ☠️

HOW was this done last year- and I missed it? 😳 #StarTrek #AllIWantForChristmasIsQ #Christmas 🎄

I was given word that my position will be eliminated on 31 December. I am actively seeking the next thing. I am open to full-time or consulting roles in #GIS, #data (science or engineering), #programming, or other technical fields. I have spent the last few years in senior technical management. Please DM me or use the contact information in my profile. Boosts appreciated.
