@stux it's true I take time to read toots back before sending, and correct errors. So although I can delete and retoot (and I do) I seem to need to do it much less. There's less rush and more care here.

@stux I didn't at first, but have become more aware over the past few years because I unintentionally posted some hurtful things. What helped was that I changed the settings to say "Are you sure you want to boost ____ ?" And that helped me make those split second decisions. Plus having the option to CW posts that might be traumatic for others.

@stux I've experienced the same but in the opposite way, people posting more and more freely here because they aren't that scared of the public opinion or about some idiot coming to quote and bully you

@stux speaking of file size: how is it on mastodon, do videos/pictures get transcoded and/or optimized on the server side?

@stux Very true!

I wonder the nice atmosphere of the Fediverse might also have to do with the federated nature of the network of people.

That is: An instance-based neighbourhood of (presumably) like-minded people adhering to some code of conduct including blocked instances.

Maybe this could also be described as slightly more involved moderation (per instance) based on shared values

@stux couldn’t agree with this more. I feel interactions here are more human than in social networks like Twitter where people race for the most clickbaity post or smarty thread.
