um isn't there only one comment that matches what you're describing? i actually thought it was pretty neat how that discussion started out in the vein of a twitter thread, with one person misinterpreting another person's tweet and moralizing about it, but then you have that super long comment from alyssa 6 hours later that says "i think you're both right" and goes way into depth about how things are the way they are
on twitter there wouldn't have been the space for that comment and it would've been overrun by a bunch of people making quick moral judgements about a tweet they deliberately misinterpreted
- kstenerud 4y agoThis is actually my first time reading a mastodon thread, and I must say that the extra long comments allow for thoughtfulness, insightfulness and pleasant reading. At first I didn't read any of the replies because I was expecting the standard Twitter experience.
- tcmart14 4y agoDefinitely about Mastodon. I've been wanting to try out Mastodon and I finally took the plunge. So far, it seems a lot better because it allows for thoughtfulness. Will have to see how it goes!
