       Do people actually like thinking in tweets? A lot of us have been trained to do it so long, we thought it was inherently a good thing. Now, having a different option on Mastodon where I know there's no chance of going viral or being widely distributed, I feel a sense of relief in my thoughts even before I post.Pressure is off. My internal model of what makes a good post is loosening. Zero stakes posting makes me feel calm.#TwitterMigration #Twexit #TwitterTakeover

       @kaxlinewhy can't we go viral here? the reason I love this place is that it's pure LIFO, no ads or algorithms. I want the fedi to have more users than Twitter. I want everyone here. the best ideas can go huge only if the people actually want it to.

       I usually fought the instincts and tried to post authentically without following the temptation of tweet-speak. But not having to take that extra step mentally is like the healthy version of a dopamine hit ...

       @wjmaggos Sssshhh, don't tell my brain that posts can go big here. 😂In any case, I feel like you can make Mastodon what you want. You can shape your use of it to be more like Twitter, or you can make it something else.I'm enjoying getting back to first principles about what I would want out of "social media" when it's not synonymous with a single algorithm optimized for ads.
