DerpDerpington<p>Man using <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> has changed my life. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Fosstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fosstodon</span></a> is where my home is and hopefully it stays here for a long time. Here I don't get bombarded by rage articles, Politics, toxicity, and generally only see what I want to see. That is how social media should be and should have stayed. Please never change this, I absolutely love my timeline being cats mixed with a little bit of tech and memes.</p>

Jeffrey Bouter<p>A few months ago, due to some drama going on at <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Fosstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fosstodon</span></a>, I decided to move elsewhere. I made a mistake, because I didn't give Fosstodon admins a proper chance to turn things around, and they clearly have. I regret jumping ship too soon, and I've decided to own up to my mistake and move back, as the Fosstodon ideals align with my own ideals very much.</p>
