Don't post on Twitter.
The content and connections that you are investing there are supporting an abusive system.
Post that content here.
Bring your connections here.
There, you are small, and you are a commodity.
Here, you are important, and you are a person.
You know all this.
If you feel compelled to open Twitter, investigate that compulsion.
You've heard that algorithmic apps can cause addictive behavior.
Is that what you're doing?
And if so, shouldn't you stop?

@sarajw I believe in you.

@42GB @evolved_robonaut you're building something important. That's a good way to spend your time!

@evolved_robonaut @evan Im also wondering why my screen time went up since I'm on Mastodon... ? At least it feels like the time is spend in a better way. Plus content I actually want to see and no ads.

@evan Hmmmm, I think #Mastodon might be just a little bit addictive also!! But in a good, coffee/caffeine, sort of way. ?

@jack Interesting question! Yes, I quit smoking a few months before my daughter was born. It was the 4th time I'd tried. I am somewhat disappointed that it took that level of urgency to get me to quit.

@evan Birdsite, mostly due to network breadth, still does things that Masto doesn’t, like tweets when Washington was beating Philly late in the 3rd, or Iran protest videos.

Don't bullshitting people! Here in the Fediverse, in particular on any instance that is part of the Mastodon network, you are no less small and a commodity than on Twitter. You're neither important nor a person, but at the whims of admins decide with whom you can interact and with whom not. Perhaps it's different on the other projects (gnusocial, friendica, etc.), but here, in the Mastodon network, you're as much in a silo as on Twitter. Again: Stoip biullshitting people.

Don't bullshit people! Esp. on any instance that is part of the Mastodon network, you are no less small and a commodity than on Twitter. You're neither important nor "a person", but at the whims of admins who decide by fiat and without accountability with whom you can interact and with whom not. Perhaps it's different on the other projects (gnusocial, friendica, etc.), but in the Mastodon network, you're as much in a silo as on Twitter. Again: Stop bullshitting people.
