I came to Mastodon after abandoning Twitter. My experience has been It’s really not an alternative…just a more serene and less engaging echo chamber. I think I can carry on without either platform. Adios.

@Quest4Blackbeard How about I call out your condescension, point out that materialism isn’t exactly a winning formula either, and unfollow you. If you’re truly interested in learning how Christianity or any faith could be something meaningful and helpful …, which I doubt… there’s libraries, churches, temples, synagogues, mosques and seminaries out there for you. I think you prefer your easy to villanize straw man, so…bye.
@Quest4Blackbeard I’m a Christian. Not the fundamentalist, literalist MAGA type but Christian nonetheless. I don’t worship a Sky Daddy and find the propagation of this lack of nuance regarding faith a problem that afflicts the left as much as the right.
I hate most modern country music. Not all. I even have an alt-country playlist. I enjoy live bluegrass. That being said, what I really hate is people who try to convince me that I should listen to country. I’m a southerner who has spent a lifetime distancing myself from redneckdom. Nothing about beardy guys in hats singing with an exaggerated twang about trucks, beer and deer stands appeals to me. I’m neck deep in a culture that eats that shit up. I don’t need any extra.
And of course, my wife and son are Braves fans…and I don’t wish to rain on their parades. My late grandfather loved the Braves. So…no baseball for me. #baseball
I think living where there is no home team is part of it. The Braves are the closest and they are 5 hours away. And I actively root against other Atlanta teams in other leagues. I would rather not care at all than support an Atlanta team. #baseball
I used to love baseball. Today, I enjoy an occasional minor league game. But … I‘ve lost all interest in MLB and that would make 10 year old me very disappointed. #baseball
