After reading the #EFF post today on Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads I was reflecting on my transition from #Twitter to #Mastodon. Here's a few reasons I am still so happy about this socialport: 1) On Twitter, I always felt like I was so far behind and had to catch up (a negative feeling), whereas on Mastodon their small intentional design decision of hiding a good chunk of what I've missed since last time behind "Load missing posts" leaves me able to consume content when I can without the negative feelings associated with being so behind. Does that mean I'm less addicted to it? Yes! Is that okay? Absolutely! 2) The intentions of people in my community feel more authentic. The information being posted feels less drama "look at me, read my stuff, I'm important" desperate and more "here's a fact/thought, engage if you want" matter of fact. I appreciate this.

No regrets on my socialport. I'm glad to be here #fediverse.
