reasons i like mastodon over twitter
the option to include text descriptions for media isn't hidden away !!!!! and accessing the descriptions is also available to folks who don't have their device set up with accessibility settings !!!!!!!!!!!! this is so useful and good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
meet Coda! They are an electronic possum/personal assistant/musical instrument. Their tummy can become a grid of buttons that can be used to control software, make music, play games, etc., and they respond to voice commands - though they glitch out a lot and arenβt always functional. Youβll probably find them digging in the trash, looking for synthesizers or game boy carts.

Some twitter v. Mastodon tips for all of the lovely new tooters:
When you like a tweet on twitter, a swarm of AIs spin into action, analysing every aspect of the tweet and trying so desperately to find the matching tweet to show you next that will keep you scrolling, lest their masters decommission them in favor of a new version.
When you fave a toot on Mastodon, there aren't any AIs; you just made another human being across the world feel nice.
