Mastodon has changed how I think. Twitter now seems like a server that doesn't want to federate with anyone else, and that everyone else has blacklisted. I'm in awe of how much sense that makes.
@laurakm A 5 years mastodon user, I used to think this way about … twitter users not wanting to federate and piling up their content on a fragile/closed platform :)
Yup, there was a bit of resentment.
Thanks to posts like yours, I now anderstand twittas just couldn't get the concept of federation.
@ffeth That's it exactly! I didn't even know that federation was a thing, I didn't know I needed it. Another person made the analogy of Neo in The Matrix, it feels like I've been "unplugged" from Twitter and I'm learning how the real world works.
