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 !
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.
