Today is my 1 month anniversary of signing up for Mastodon. A few observations—after spending 13+ years on Twitter:
•The Mastodon community is kinder & more focused on lifting one another up than tearing down.
•Mastodon is learning from Twitter's mistakes by including accessibility options, incorporating an edit button, & not centralizing everything
•Engagement is not dependent on clickbait or outrage, but genuine positive content.
None of the above are absolutes, but overall, glad I'm here.

Now it's just to hope that Twitter will finally serve as a warning example for people not to rely on centralized platforms. The purposes of Facebook, Instagram, Github, Reddit, Stackoverflow and the like may differ, the fundamental problems however are the same. Hopefully the next great migrations take place before forcefully initiated by a platform meltdown.
