@davidrevoy I've never had a Twitter account, but I left Facebook, last year, and never looked back.

I was introduced to Mastodon through StartPage. It took some time to adjust, but I'm enjoying my time here.

The benefits of community and no algorithm very much outweigh the cost of time taken to adapt. I'm certainly happy to donate to Mastodon versus having my data and habits sold for Facebook's "free" services.

Most of all, I would have never known about Pepper & Carrot without Mastodon!
