@Starling Make the follow rule, it's helped me.
Only follow humans and/or weird funny bots. No media/news. It'll make this place so much more endurable and pleasant.
I'm in the same boat, my foot is halfway out the door. I'm only on Twitter for like 5 humans I care about.
Twitter and Mastodon Show more
@rosjackson @Starling You're not wrong, but as you say, that's ultimately going to depend on the types of individuals/accounts you follow.
There's definitely more customization and control with Mastodon instances, so that makes quite a difference.
I do just think that this place has more of an "early days of twitter" vibe before it became all corporate and all media driven. It's about the human interactions you make with other people.
