He was visibly choked by this small act and I asked if he was ok, and he mumbled that he was and we went our separate ways. <br/><br/>It strikes me that simple acts of kindness, community building camaraderie, treating people with respect and compassion, are anathema to some, if not many, people.

Here&#39;s my take <br/><br/>Personally, I left Twitter because it was full of bullying and celebrity/influencer worship. I didn&#39;t fit in, and felt very uncomfortable. <br/><br/>I left Facebook when my friends and families posts started disappearing and an algorithm started feeding me things I should have interest in. <br/><br/>I haven&#39;t used any other social media, except the Fediverse where I have been accepted and feel comfortable, even though my introverted nature sometimes tells me to stop interacting and go back to lurking like on Twitter. <br/><br/>As social media goes, I have found a happy place. I follow what I want, block what I don&#39;t, and am really happy with the moderation of aus.social admins. Is it an echo chamber? To be honest, I don&#39;t care. I&#39;m not going to the pub with a bunch of people I don&#39;t like the opinion of, and that&#39;s how I think of the Fediverse, a social environment, rather than a soapbox. <br/><br/>Anyway, I&#39;ll go back to talking about chess, and posting photos of Tasmania and cats. And thanks to all of you who happily tolerate me 🙂<br/><br/>#Fediverse #Mastodon #EchoChamber <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub14289pqfz2j2q9ms83gu08vtyt0uy9dka70yca4nst8kza0u9h0vs380vjx" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Aus.Social Admin</span> (<span class="italic">npub1428…0vjx</span>)</a></span> #Socialmedia 2026-04-07T10:07:54Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswjes8ydaz8c3dc2ctaxcgjnm52uey6aw43ye8yn76c8pcjjzhwpqzyz6nm8xjk5elsj689q0vhmglhctcfmsaykz20z3j0kaq086w3dun25kpqk4 The sky out my back window just erupted. <br/><br/>#sky #Clouds #Sunset #Tasmania #lutruwita<br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/116/362/384/047/289/495/original/437ebdb6fcf05611.jpg"> <br/> 2026-04-07T08:06:02Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszqlrgluh0r7xgrvh8udtv62fajw293erl57mjqv30a06d2mmzryszyz6nm8xjk5elsj689q0vhmglhctcfmsaykz20z3j0kaq086w3dun2334mev In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrmnegmy55evn6sp8qsu3mk8j20s46kkfadly8m7aujaslrhk3h7qs4haz7'>nevent1q…haz7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The bins are louder than fireworks and I get a sense of achievement if I actually remember which bin is supposed to go out 😄 2026-04-05T11:34:40Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszphxgfh4q9gxd726mhc3jqfzptccsdnwfaga24stm4mragknclqqzyz6nm8xjk5elsj689q0vhmglhctcfmsaykz20z3j0kaq086w3dun2sas7g7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsghl9ssegazue98vtehjlj53mlfa8800ew5fwq6qfk9h5q26mw79cap4knz'>nevent1q…4knz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I heard them.
