@nancylwayne @design_law I think you both make good points. I came here in fall of 2022 and instantly felt the tone change—I felt welcomed. I set up lots of # to follow. Once I found the accounts I wanted to follow, I deleted some # and now see the content I want to see—mostly real people posting about their own interests. Different platforms offer different experiences—Mastodon offers the social part of social media, which is what I’ve been looking for.
