The more time I spend on Mastodon cultivating, expanding, and engaging with my network(s), the less tolerable the Facebook and Twitter timelines become. Mastodon reminds me of why social matters, and reveals how much advertising and the algorithm has crept into every moment of my day and set the pace off my reality.
Same. I don't think you realise how pervasive the algorithms are until you leave them behind and experience things without them.
