Firstly, I want to say thank you so much! --
Everyone's been SO wonderful to speak with, generously sharing opinions and tips about Mastodon, and kindly helping me feel welcomed in this community so far! Since I’m still new, I wanted to again share that I’m an Art and design student from he University of Michigan, using Mastodon as my social media platform to study for my UI/UX class.
If I can gather some feedback from whomever would like to share, I am curious to find out if you feel more free to share your opinions with the Mastodon community vs other social media platforms? And why you think that might be?

More and less I suppose. Large numbers make people disappear in the mass, where it can seem like nobody's in charge of the atmosphere, hence posting less reflexivly. Here it feels more personal, you see living rules (and variations) and moderation/tors (or admins), you may even know them a bit, hence adjusting more for what you would like the platform to be & perspectives. It also means I feel safer from trolls, bots and targeted harassment (though I know it's imperfect).

Thank you so much for your response! You’re the second person to mention the moderation in a way that helps protects users from trolls and targeted harassment! - totally understandable that it’s imperfect, but so is everything else, right? It seems that Mastodon is a lot more community driven, so it makes a lot of sense that the mods would make sure that the community is protected!
