@jaz #tellEveryone that the posts that show up on my feed are the ones my community wants me to see and the ones I've decided are best for me, with no input from a corporation. I decide what hashtags to follow and what people to follow. People decide what to post, what hashtags to use, and what posts from their feed would look good on mine too. Every timeline is a community project built with love, and no one gets to buy my attention.
👋 If you can see this toot you are on the #Fediverse enjoying #BetterSocialMedia
How flippin' awesome is that!?
In one or two sentences, tell me one thing that stands out for you personally, one of the reasons you enjoy being here.
And if you're ok with me using your answer in promotional material to get more people here, add the tag #TellEveryone 📢

@jaz People are just so civilised here. It’s like being back in the EU again. #TellEveryone #Mastodon
@jaz #TellEveryone that the Fediverse is where we are building a new kind of social media, with every server being a slightly different experiment in how to build community. No server has to be right for all people, and ideally everyone can find a server that is right for them.
I joined social.coop in particular because i want to actively be part of a cooperatively run social media, not just benefit from a service someone else runs.
Most other social media platforms bring out the worst in me.
The Fediverse encourages me to bring my best self.
@jaz No ads, no bloody "influencers", no feeling of competition like you have to amass tons of followers, no obligation to be sensationalist for clicks, OK to witter on about sheep or whatever else I fancy, nice to end up following all sorts of people I would never encounter otherwise, some of whom also like to witter on about sheep. Welsh instance is particularly nice as I live here and dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg so it's nice to practice reading Welsh and even trying a bit of my own.🐂👍

@jaz It's the platform we are building together. #TellEveryone
"cottage industry" implies the possibility of remuneration.
Stump up, Professor! 😁
There are lost of things that I love about Mastodon, but the thing that saves me every day is the ability to edit posts.... there is a cottage industry among my followers spotting my typos (and also occasional analytical miss-steps) & being able to edit the post is just brilliant.

@jaz The sheer amount of people who take great photos and then, after uploading, seeing the positive responses of others; that's entirely unlike that Other Site where it's constant ragebait and bot activity. More cats too, which is obviously a good thing.
