@jaz I love that I can see honest and genuine sides of people in here. The positivity and inclusivity I get is nowhere to be found. Most people don't like mainstream social media that are filled with bullsh*t, low-quality and attention-seeking posts. They like to discuss things in an insightful and respectful way. They are open to change and able to see things in multiple perspectives. Well, that's why they got here in the first place. I love everything about this place!
You know what stands out about the Fediverse? No ads, but most of all, my own timeline. It's Mine. I made it and I can change it whenever I want by following who and what I want. I am in control.
@jaz you can read conversations about important topics where people disagree without it dissolving into childish squabbling. I've even seen people apologizing to each other if someone was out of line. It's refreshing and encouraging to know there is a part of the internet where people have decided to treat the interactions the same way they might in real life by being respectful and acknowledging their behavior has an impact on those around them. It's something I've always wanted #telleveryone
@jaz Oof I added the wrong hashtag, didn’t I?! I’m more than happy for you to #TellEveryone!
(Will edit my original post to add it now.)
@jaz we can make space to be our full selves. #TellEveryone
This is some of the best about the #Fediverse so far:
Many high value posts
Very welcoming, mature & friendly #community
The majority of the platforms are #OpenSource
The #Filosophy is amazing
A lot of it is NOT for profit
Alternative to corporations
...
@jaz Real conversations. Real people. #TellEveryone
@jaz The Fediverse is a much more welcoming environment in which I’m not harangued by adverts or promoted posts, and I’m safe in the knowledge that my words and activity are not tracked in order to sell me things, in fact not tracked at all!
#TellEveryone #BetterSocialMedia
@jaz balance does not mean everyone needs equal time #telleveryone
The people are FREAKING awesome... the thought communities easy and cool to dip in and out of
@jaz
#Fediverse = WYSIWYG = What You Seek Is What You Get.
#TellEveryone
@jaz
#Fediverse = great content, thoughtful community, civilized environment.
#TellEveryone
@jaz I'm an artist, and I was tired of having to play the role of "content creator" on social media, because if your content isn't "trending", you are invisible, even to your own friends and fans. So when twitter went down, I found this oasis.
I have less followers here, but it feels like the forums and blogs of the old internet days. Feels good not to be a number for an algorithm.

@jaz I bailed on Facebook way back when they stopped letting you set your timeline to show posts chronologically, instead forcing you to rely on their algorithm. Went to Diaspora* but it was practically empty of people. I was on Twitter until it got Xed out. Then on to the Fediverse! Thank you Elon for sending so many awesome people over here!
I love controlling my own timelines!
@jaz I love: 1. No ads!! 2. Chill discourse with very few trolls, 3. I get basically all of my news from Mastodon (politics, sports, entertainment), 4. Learn new things every day from people with niche areas of interest #telleveryone
@jaz Users are not always cranky. I don't just randomly see porn in my timeline. Pictures often have alt text. All these and more without some pesky algorithm.
Users are our algorithm. #TellEveryone
