@Fragglemuppet That is one of the best quotes. Thank you for sharing.

@Fragglemuppet I was just thinking that since I stopped using Twitter, I have no idea what nonsense folks like Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, etc are spewing. Or if I do see it here, it’s been filtered down to the point where I can get the gist of whatever thing they’re raging about but not actually be involved. It’s nice.

@Fragglemuppet
this is awesome I am sure the majority of us agree with you. I most certainly do. Thanks for sharing

I feel the same way. I try to talk about Skastodon / Mastodon for what they are, rather than what they aren't.

I hope people are joining and federating because we're a good place to talk about good music, and not just because we're "not that other site."

@Fragglemuppet

The fact I do not hate anyone or anything. I post to be aware and pass it on of what ails US. Apathy must be nice?

@Fragglemuppet yeah that's right everyone; just keep the blinders on it's not like that's what got us here in the first place. 🙄

@Fragglemuppet unless you're super open minded, I don't think it's possible to keep your feed everything you like. Too many diverse people who will share wildly different things. It's a constant game of whack-a-mole.

@Fragglemuppet you know that the best thing to being here is seeing this app growing

@Fragglemuppet

I think it is human nature to discuss what moves you - good or bad - but I find that it’s easier to do both with people who have good intentions. And so I guess I’d say, it’s the good intentions that I love.

@Fragglemuppet
But what if I love arguing with strangers on the internet?

@Fragglemuppet The result of no algorithms to promote hate! Fearmongering and hate brings views which bring money, so if you don't optimise for money, fear/hate drops automatically and we get a more balanced reflection of society

@Fragglemuppet@fandom.ink
in a similar vein I renamed "Doom-scrolling" to "Life-scrolling". the qualitative difference between what occurred on Twitter and happens on the Fediverse is night vs day.

@Fragglemuppet Here!Here! That is why I came over to the Fediverse as soon as I heard about it. The part that confuses me, however, is what app to use. Mastodon was the first to pop up in a search, but some how ended up at universeodon.com? Still learning how this Fediverse world works and how to access it. It reminds me of accessing Tor, lol.

@Fragglemuppet
Well said!!

@Fragglemuppet I would like to keep it that way, too, ma'am.

@Fragglemuppet @tsturm I remember once thinking FB was for people you knew and Twitter for people you liked. Yes, it changed at lot since then :-)

@Fragglemuppet Similar to the difference between Facebook and Twitter at its best: "One is for communicating with people you know in real life but wish you didn't, the other is for communicating with people you don't know but wish you did."

@Fragglemuppet Beatiful sentiment. Thank you!

@Fragglemuppet yes! Love it!

@Fragglemuppet thst's why I make free use of the mute and block buttons as well as edit filters. Life is too short To do otherwise.

@Fragglemuppet The "Filters" feature - to hide posts with common keywords where negative, sensationalist, poorly-argued spew is virtually always wrapped around said keywords - is underrated.

I see far less of this sort of negativity you speak of this way. All of a sudden, Mastodon is much more of what I was wanting to see. 👍

If only for the sake of protecting our emotional well-being from being aggressively "janked" by this jarring, unwelcome, unproductive spam, "Filters" is indispensable.

@Fragglemuppet
What I luvvv about the mammoth tribe is that it resembles Walkers, the minds who long for a discovery, sense of oneness, freedom & peace, instead of authority & hierarchy. :emoji_wink:

Hello, hello, nice to meet you~
The lights call up our name
Hold me, let's escape this reality
I'm not gonna make it alone
To keep the pieces of us together :fsfe:

@Fragglemuppet man I hope it doesn't turn into twitter hate 2.0

@Fragglemuppet I totally agree 100%

@Fragglemuppet Absolutely, that should be a given! 😊

@Fragglemuppet

True.
So much bitterness on the public tl...

@Fragglemuppet Love the Muppets....!

@Fragglemuppet fuck, I just realized I spend most of my time here in political discussion

@Fragglemuppet Agreed! Sites like GAB are so anti Blacks and Anti Jews.
Enough already!!

@Fragglemuppet I haven’t really posted anything yet. But this is something I’ll keep in mind. Positive vibes only.Thank you 🙏

@Fragglemuppet @vincent I’ve seen here so much hate against groups of ppl and individual users … I hope this place is not changing into the same hellhole we tried to avoid

@Fragglemuppet Privacy influencers who sell & promote their own devices, self-name their own OS, tout themselves as being big on sites such as Odysee. They too, have own social media site on their degoggled devices. Use phrases such as '3-letter agencies' & ducking the 'Zucking'. All in the name of privacy the patrons delete their chats. Voluntarily? Dunno.
