New user here. Had been considering the change for a while, took the plunge with the rest of the refugees of the #TwitterMigration. Lurked for a few days before posting.
I mostly used the birdsite for learning, #medtwitter was something I think worked rather well.
That said... By comparing with my (admittedly small, but fresh) home feed here at #Mastodon, during these past few days I have come to realize just how much the birdsite's algorithms were keeping me within rather limited boundaries, even if my tastes and interests have always been the same. #Mastodon has been giving me less noise and more content.
I am hopeful that this new experience might expand my cultural horizons through all of your wonderful collective and collaborative input and feedback!
Thank you to the creators and team behind #mastodon and to the maintainers of this server @freemo !
@freemo @khird @trinsec @arteteco
Thanks! Will do! And thanks to the whole team.
I have always found when managing/coordinating/being part of teams that accomplishing an objective together feels much more rewarding and is a richer experience than if that goal had been reached alone.
Like the toots here people can boost each other ;)
So again, thanks to you and the rest of the team. You have a lot of reasons to feel good, from what I see here in qoto.org
🇳🇱
I really appreciate that. Myself, and in fact many of us (surely the mods I menntioned) have been here a long time , and it can get tiring at times, especially dealing with the drama you deal with as an admin. So it always feels good to hear when someone appreciates the effort.
I think we have a really amazing well rounded group that gets along well. It is always nice to have new people like yourself come too and I hope I get to talk to you alot.
Testing out re'tooting' good parts ...
Retooting?
So basically, hit 'Reply', and then take the name of the original poster and write your own commentary.
Anyone who reads your commentary and click on the post will see the original post that evoked the comment.
For example, the post that I have re'tooted' here is a great reflection on the comparison between #birdsite and #mastodon. Worth discussing and expanding.
