@Em0nM4stodon In the algorithm-free feeds people actually see and read what you post. Even if there's just a link and no cover image, call to action, or clickbait.

@Em0nM4stodon You! And all the other people!

@Em0nM4stodon
No ads
No billionaire owners
No evil algorithm

@Em0nM4stodon Seeing people post about random stuff that interests them, other people chiming in with questions and comments, and then just reading through all of that.

@Em0nM4stodon I’d go with the classic “the friends we made along the way”. People being people.

@Em0nM4stodon
I am not angry, despondent, bullied or marketed to anymore. Auto correct wants me to change it so it says I am not marketed anymore and I agree.

I block the words that cause me stress and anxiety especially the doings of wealthy people and politicians. I can always look if I am in the mood.

I love how my instance is moderated.

I have no feelings of need for likes or shares.

It is just so much healthier for me.

@Em0nM4stodon
First and foremost it's ad-free,
It feels quieter as it is made by people with honesty, and a real reason to share something, instead of feeding the algorithm monster,
No algorithm, but I can go exploring anyways if I'm in the mood,
No random racist, sexist, far-right propaganda popping up in the feed randomly,
The people who are here, for example you :)

@Em0nM4stodon

Chronological feed
No advertising

(Plus most of my interactions are lovely, but I know that's not the case for everyone).

@Em0nM4stodon people being people. Discourse and options. The only algorithm is the algorithm I ask for. Etc.

@Em0nM4stodon the quietness and thought put into posts

@Em0nM4stodon that I am in charge of creating and maintaining my bubble.

Populating it with real humans and their real stories, opinions and discussions.
