I love 98 things about #Mastodon. One love for which I haven't expressed appreciation until now is that I love that accounts don't follow me solely on the basis that their bots have found in my toot or awoo a keyword which happens to be something I hate.
e.g. "I hate s0cm3d14 accounts that follow strictly for brand-building without reading my feed first." @SocMedBrandBuild is now following you.
@ChristinaO I love that, too. It feels as if this place is full of real people, instead of commercial entities.
Also, it seems that most of the people on #Mastodon are being nice to one another. That means so much to me.
@mirabilis To me it is so reminiscent of an internet of 25 years ago, when people were more into using gopher, archie, veronica, and HTML only for presenting content, not so much for third-party trackers, browser-sniffing so Linux open-source browsers can be ignored or dismissed as "out-of-date", and loading on needless crap or virus-tainted ads slowing down or contaminating browsers
@ChristinaO Yes, yes, yes!
