I've been using Mastodon for the better part of a year now.

While I don't think it avoids all the pathologies of social networking generally, it's generally been a welcoming and uplifting community, and it's one of the few places where I don't feel like I'm starkly in the minority placing value on free software, open protocols, privacy, and strong community moderation.

I'd encourage others to give it a shot.
