Yesterday was my last day at birdsite for the foreseeable future. Given the new owners irratic and destructive behavior, amplifying hate and sowing seeds of distrust, I was no longer comfortable with participating. In the light of these events, and being the product of the service of Twitter for the customers of the advertising industry, I could not ethically motivate myself being a part anymore. Having left Metas services some years back for similar reasons, this now seems to be my new space.

Today is my 1 month anniversary of signing up for Mastodon. A few observationsโ€”after spending 13+ years on Twitter:

โ€ขThe Mastodon community is kinder & more focused on lifting one another up than tearing down.

โ€ขMastodon is learning from Twitter's mistakes by including accessibility options, incorporating an edit button, & not centralizing everything

โ€ขEngagement is not dependent on clickbait or outrage, but genuine positive content.

None of the above are absolutes, but overall, glad I'm here.

@juliusflywheel @leigth @auscovid19 It makes sense since a large number of staff were fired including moderation. His target state is 'no restrictions'. โŒ๏ธ

Unfortunately Metabolist has to stop working on #Metatext due to health issues.

Please remember that Mastodon is still a new project run by people with exceptional good will. Not a corporation

The app has become important to a lot people, so he is open to a new maintainer who can carry on its values of privacy and accessibility taking it over if there's interest and a fit.
