   I like many things about Masto. But what I like most is that out-of-the-box, left-brain things happen often here. Like stumbling upon someone who understands a relatively obscure French film from 1996 based on an even more obscure 1916 French film, a guy who builds supercomputers as a hobby, a subculture that publishes poetry using the long-deceased, now-revived Gopher system.
   And I could go on with the whimsical, and the unbounded creativity that emerges when the profit motive is removed.

     By the way, I used Twitter since early 2007, shortly after it launched. Not even in the early days there was anything like this on Twitter.
     It was refreshing at the time, compared to the things that were available. But there never was anything like the effervescent passion for creative cross-pollination and delightfully libertine thinking that happens on Mastodon as a matter of course.

     Mastodon is nothing like Twitter, Mastodon is what Twitter should have been.
