@raikas @kissane @rolle Ah yes, I had the jitters crawl my brain for months after leaving Twitter.

But it’s now ex-twitter, literally.

I like it here. Most for the calm of mind actually. Not feeling like an algorithm is watching your every move is liberating.

You stop performing when you get here. And that is great.

@gimulnautti @kissane @rolle It's more chill. Lower barrier, no need to try optimize posts for the algorithm, because there ain't one.

Over the last few days I have found the fun in Mastodon and the community when developing #Mastopoet , before that I used it more randomly, to check what rolle has posted, etc. But I haven't really touched Twitter in the last few days, just to inform people I'm now here.

Seems like I have got enough dopamine from the interactions to the #Mastopoet posts 😎. And I enjoyed a lot creating a tool for the community, and to see people actually use it.

This also is because of some other things about my projects in the past not getting finished/released properly, and this project now being finally in a good state.

I enjoy writing here a lot. Thankfully on #MementoMoriSocial we have the 10k character limit here, even though I have wrote only about 4000 characters in a single post, this far. I probably should write more. I tend to write very long posts, this also being over 1000 characters now. Whoops. Just get the inspiration and feel to write for some reason.

@raikas Glad you got that feeling with #Mastopoet ❤️ for me it's been that with open source in general but Mastodon has kinda boosted it x100 like with #MastodonBirdUI and other tools.

But not only that, the instant reactions and more natural discourse are great here. I agree everything what you said about the barriers, well put.

As I'm someone who has lived through the growth of the Intenet, I really believe we can achieve the mindset of learning things again, the new more healthy and natural way of using social media. I like this movement and I hope this change continues. I'd like to see that someday people see what nowadays Intenet is doing to us. I'm hopeful.

The algorithms are like microdosed dopamine.

The principles of user-centric product development dictate that the team should give the community what it wants.

What happens when it wants meth? 🤷🏻‍♂️

@maya has a great post about this. maya.land/responses/2022/11/28

I think it's crucial that we don't conflate "algos" with "evil algos," but also that whatever we do with recommendations and non-chrono feeds be handled with the kind of care we use with explosives.

Tumblr just open sourced their algorithm for feeds - I believe that's an excellent foundation for a healthy algorithm.

@gimulnautti @raikas @kissane @rolle The people here are really great too! It’s almost surreal.

@DeltaWye @raikas @kissane @rolle Mostly very nice, yes. Depends quite a lot where you travel 🙂

@gimulnautti @raikas @kissane @rolle They can be very eccentric too, but I’m totally OK with eccentric people.
