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

@seindal interesting!

@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.

[rufustheduck@mastodon.social]

@hadon I honestly couldn't agree more

@rufustheduck my Molly says hi to your Molly.

[rasterweb@mastodon.social]

@rufustheduck You know what they say about cats... Sometime anti-social, always anti-fascist.

@rasterweb @rufustheduck

That would make for an amazing sticker, and custom instance emoji @jerry 😉

[frelo@mastodon.social]

@rufustheduck ok, now you can stop polluting masto with cats.

[quasit@kolektiva.social]

@rufustheduck
I don't think cats would put up with fascism, do you?

On the other hand...not to badmouth our canine friends, but what with the barking and the slavish loyalty a lot of them seem pretty ready for authoritarianism!

[ferrix@mastodon.online]

@rasterweb @rufustheduck @simonzerafa and they are all beautiful

[rasterweb@mastodon.social]

@ferrix @rufustheduck @simonzerafa All Cats Are Beautiful! 🐈

[cat_news@mas.to]

@rufustheduck completely seriously - cats are independent and do not love unconditionally. Building relationships with cats requires empathy, and a respect for boundaries

[darkphoenix@universeodon.com]

@rufustheduck
That is because...
in general, animal lovers are usually a lot better class of people than the standard orange cockwomble fascist pedophile.
IMHO.

@rufustheduck meet my Molly!
