       Me: I'd like to get to know people on here more and make some friendsAlso me: *almost never posts anything or replies to anyone because social anxiety makes me have to spend 20 minutes on drafting any toot that's at all conversational to make sure the tone is right and that I'm not reply guying and etc*

       @someonetellmetosleep Do you think a tool like Grammarly would help? In addition to the grammar part (which is irrelevant here) it tells you what it thinks the tone of your message is, and updates if you change it. It could be a nice "second opinion" to have if that would help. (Most of the time, it thinks my messages are businesslike.) In the full editor you can even set goals for a piece of writing and it will tell you how well you've achieved them. (See attachment.)

       @PastaThief I don't know, using an extra tool seems like it'd add friction, especially since I mostly use mastodon on my phone, but I'll take a look. Thanks

       @someonetellmetosleep Yeah, on the phone it would be awkward. I hope that, tool or not, you find a way to talk more if it's something you want to do! I'd enjoy seeing more chatty posts from you.
