I had a minor quibble with something @jeffjarvis wrote on here. Were this Twitter, I would have quote tweeted him, and posted *about* him. Since Mastodon doesn't have a quote tweet, I just replied, meaning I was speaking *to* him.
It might seem small, but it's differences like these that, all together, make this particular communication technology conducive to a different, much more pleasant, kind of discourse—and I'm 💯 here for it.

@jsbw Amen, my neighbor. I just posted similarly about another exchange. The willingness here to negotiate understanding if not agreement -- and norms -- is critical to the healtheir environment we see. Hoping Twitter emigres such as myself don't screw it up. 🤝

@jeffjarvis Yes, totally! It really is interesting to see how things I took for granted about the Twitter experience—both for better and for worse—when tweaked even a little bit and put in combination with social norms can nudge discourse into very different patterns.
