  • Positivity

    Try to find something valuable in every interaction, situation and in every person you meet. I have no problems admitting when something didn’t go over well. But I can squeeze something out of everything that happens to me.

    It’s a little bit more difficult with people. I can’t bring myself to always engage in a positive way with everybody. But I admire the people who can.

    I generally find it very endearing when people have a positive outlook on life and loving, empathic relations with their peers. Especially if they managed to overcome hardship.

    While I agree with the article and a lot of comments, I am still active on my Mastodon account and I am enjoying it more than ever.

    Disclaimer: I’m a white male westerner working in IT. 😉

    A friend of mine works in linguistics and education. He was an avid Twitter user and has since migrated to Bluesky and Mastodon. He says, Mastodon is quite complex and clunky but on Bluesky there’s not much happening in his bubble.

    For me, the quality of the conversation and the regional character of my local instance is a big plus on Madison. On Lemmy, I read a lot on international and tech topics, but on Mastodon, the conversation is related more to my countries politics and my region.

    So, maybe they lost a lot of users. But the 14% that stayed are a good start for quite a vivid community.

    If anyone has questions on how to get something out of Mastodon, ask away or follow me here: mateng@nrw.social.
