@Gargron I just saw this. I definitely have a lot to say.

Mastodon has allowed me to create a social experience that feels not only truly socially oriented, but also entirely new and unlike anything I've ever seen. There is no algorithm, no advertising, and my data is mine. The community I form on my instance is one I've become very close with and that I feel I've been able to have say in. There is no worrying about how the corporation behind my network of choice feels about what I post.
