So far, the change of dynamics I'm finding the weirdest in the fediverse is the lack of a "quote tweet" equivalent. I keep reading stuff where I want to go "yes, and..." only to find the platform gently pushing back and going "we don't do that here."Based on wordsmith.social/elilla/a-futu… (thank you @elilla, it's an incredibly useful orientation for noobs like me) and another toot I can't find any more, this was a deliberate design choice, with a bunch of positive effects.
And it makes sense, just... I have a bunch of unlearning to do about how I communicate. That's really the biggest impact of being here so far for me, being forced to reexamine how other social media taught me to behave.
It is not fediverse. It is just Mastodon®.
