I used to use Twitter a ton before the Musk takeover. Switching to Mastodon has gone really well so far. It's taken awhile to build up a follow list of people and tags that interest me, but now that I have it's a much nicer experience than Twitter ever was.
I'm just following cool people doing cool things and it's really fun to scroll through. The lack of an algorithm pushing content to my feed was jarring at first since I had to get used the lack of "infinite" scrolling... But it's been way healthier overall. I can pop in, check out what's new from people I actually follow, and then close the app and go back to more productive things. Also the people are a lot nicer.
