• Mastodon is a waste of time and effort. If you are weaning yourself off Twitter (cigarettes), the nicotine patch or e-cig might seem like "lesser-bad", but if you don't long for Twitter, don't get started with any social control media. It's like sticking a nicotine patch despite having never smoked before.
