Let’s be clear about one thing: No one is “stuck” on Twitter. If you’re still there that’s your *choice*. Alternatives exist and some are far better than Twitter even though you may not choose to put the effort in to make it so.

Watched Patriot Games today for the first time in like 15 years. Still holds up quite well. I love when movie characters don’t act dumb in life or death situations and Patriot Games is replete with smart characters.

Samuel Jackson 👍

Sean Bean 👍

James Earl Jones 👍👍

Harrison Ford 👍👍👍👍

nostr:npub19x0vumzxzyjzq0d4xyr59l2gd098qzpky4d4f54a58hdl279hnhs9e9ve7 I'm glad your experience has been a good one. And thank you for acknowledging that other people's different experiences are real. It's frustrating to see people popping up in your replies saying things like "yeah, I don't see it either, those other people must be lying!"

nostr:npub1ulmk7rglm7y8cykt7h40zhwnhv9c37qxq5tnna3jqz4wjx52wd8q2whweg thx! I have no doubt what-so-ever that it is happening, my experience at Twitter & just every day real life is proof enough. It’s that I often can’t reconcile people who say it’s somehow worse here than it was on Twitter given the compartmentalized nature of the Fediverse. You have to *really* try hard to go looking for trouble here vs there.

Also, I follow a wide variety of people and found them, in general, to be friendly, helpful and very strong advocates for marginalized users.

I swear I must be using a different Mastodon than everyone else. Since I’ve been here I’ve only seen people be generally courteous and friendly to each other. The occasional times when someone has been mean, rude or thoughtless they usually apologize straight away.

Not only that but I’ve seen people go out of their way to help others understand how the service is different from others without being condescending.

It’s strange how vastly different one’s experiences can be on social media. 🤷‍♂️
