@laurencelawlor @dgar This. Engagement is actually fun and isn’t drowned in a sea of bots and trolls.

@laurencelawlor That is how I feel. It is a "talk to" platform instead of "talk at."

@laurencelawlor Agreed. I love that there's a slight learning curve that serves to keep toxic people from staying. I love the human moderation. I love that 99.9% of the people here engage with each other in good faith. Mastodon isn't flashy, but it's authentic, organic, and if I ever want slop I know where to go to find it outside of this little oasis on the web.

@laurencelawlor I've had more in depth conversations with strangers on mastodon than I've had in years on Facebook and I never really joined any other social media. I learn about animals, moss, birds, lock picking, and fancy windows here instead of which relative has become staunchly anti-reason.

@laurencelawlor took me a while to understand that. Follows + Federated + Local + Boosts + Favourites is a slow, accretive process. Your feed evolves into a reflection of you. Helps if your home server is topic-centric.
