I just realized my Mastodon experience hasn’t enshittified one bit in the 2+ years I’ve been here. In fact, it’s only gotten better.

I really like the “social network” versus “social media” distinction pointed out here.#Mastodon, to me, feels like a network. I follow people that seem interesting, often following back people who have followed me. If they happen to post “media“ that seems interesting, I may choose to experience it, or not. Either way it’s a secondary effect of the network. Other platforms that are ad-driven and algorithmic feel very different. https://jaz.co.uk/2025/10/30/there-is-one-fediverse-there-are-a-million-pickleball-courts/
