Hello, Fediverse 👋

@sophiekaz Hi 👋 and welcome - your boldness and bravery in abandoning the walled gardens of Big Tech are 💥💣! More power to us all ✊🏼✊🏿✊🏻✊🏾✊🏽✊!

I just recently made the change too!
I mainly did it to get rid of being fed short form content but the lack data being sold is a huge plus in my opinion.

@amblergee thank you! I wouldn't say brave, more that my conscience just couldn't keep up with the mental gymnastics any more. I was literally posting about closing my Amazon accounts on Facebook. The irony of announcing your exit from one billionaire's platform on another billionaire's platform was the final nudge I needed. Really glad to be here!

@philpetree @asmartbear 500 followers while finding the whole thing tedious is honestly impressive! I think that's part of why this place appeals to me. The pressure to perform and game algorithms just doesn't exist here.

@nichni thank you so much! It's been wonderful so far - my only regret is that I didn't move sooner!

[philpetree@mastodon.social]

@sophiekaz Here I only have 61 followers and 5 of those are scammers. LOL
I post just as much here as I do elsewhere, I engage more here than elsewhere... so IDK what the difference is.
