@palafo 🥥 That's been my experience as well, Patrick. 🥥

@palafo And better norms.

@palafo Absolutely. It's not even close.

@palafo its amazing how civil something can be when you remove motivation for views/likes/retweets and advertising and just talk with people

@palafo

Yep, same here

@palafo

I am definitely happy here. I don't get enraged. I don't have the adrenaline or dopamine hits from getting included or excluded. I don't feel as rushed to respond. I still respond quicker than I need to but there is a pressure missing I can't explain.

@palafo @glennf Yep, but don’t tell that to the people still clinging to elons little fascist walled garden or you’re likely to be masto’splaining

@palafo Agreed. And I wasn't even having too disagreeable of a time pre-Musk purchase of Twitter, but now on this side of everything I'm definitely feeling much more upbeat and less flustered. Plus it feels great to support the open web and "indie" operators.

@palafo Also no Devil laughter.

@palafo
Yeah, but you're white and I'm half-white. People of other races can have very different experiences here, sadly.

@palafo oh that’s interesting that you see that too despite having a large following!

@palafo @mastodonmigration And yet, so few mainstream media mentions. Hmm. #msnbc #cnn #journalism

@palafo It’s almost as if real humans produce a better human experience than bots or “influencers” trying to game algorythms … 🤯

@palafo, naturally, it's not mainstream with mainstream people
