I've been on #Mastodon for a month now, and I’ve just been posting pics of my #cats

@rufustheduck Nope, that pretty much sums up my experience here the past 3.5 years. There's been a few jerks and haters in the mix, but a swift block and it's back to the cool people.

Give Molly a good head rub from me.

@kimlockhartga @rufustheduck

This makes so much sense 😊

[rufustheduck@mastodon.social]

@somcak I'll get straight on it

@rufustheduck
Your cat looks like a superhero.

[dilmandila@mograph.social]

@rufustheduck Mastodon doesn't exist. It's a mind-control project created by cats, who want to fool people into thinking they have something nice.

[rufustheduck@mastodon.social]

@Quenby that would explain why she sleeps so much. She's out superheroing all night!

@rufustheduck
Prudence says hello!

[rufustheduck@mastodon.social]

@dilmandila this is the kind of mind-control I can get on board with

[rufustheduck@mastodon.social]

@Barbramon1 fabulous!

@print Thank you.

It's very hard to monetise anything in the Fediverse, so all those who value money over people, find little of interest here.

They go away, saying it's complicated and difficult to use the Fediverse because it doesn't work for them.

[rufustheduck@mastodon.social]

@seindal interesting!

[hadon@mastodon.social]

@rufustheduck
Here there are no annoying algorithms that sentence you into an echo chamber, that's why all sorts of different people read your toots.

[nicelymanifest@mastodon.social]

@rufustheduck The media falsely describe FaceBook as a social media platform when it is really a means of addicting users in order sell more ads. Money from grabbing user attention via mindless doomscrolling. Individual posts drowning in a sea of system posts.

[rufustheduck@mastodon.social]

@hadon its such a different experience to every other social media platform I've used!

[lizette603_23@mastodon.social]

@rufustheduck my two old folks

[rufustheduck@mastodon.social]

@NicelyManifest agree. FB has been an unusable cesspool for a decade

[nicelymanifest@mastodon.social]

@rufustheduck But point also is that the media give it that simple, deceiving label.

A better descriptor would include, if not unwieldy doing so, the brain atrophying effects of using FB.

[hadon@mastodon.social]

@rufustheduck
Yes, for me too, and I like seeing so many different people, so many different ways to perceive the same world ;) It's nice to watch the world through someone else's eyes.
