I don't see as much of what I think of as twitter "forms" here (e.g. tweets that take the form of "tfw when you x"). Some possible explanations:

1.The higher character limit obviates them

2. There's a perceived expectation that twitter-behavior should be eschewed

3. People just tend to act differently in a different context and are "starting over" cognitively

4. The set of people who would use those forms is not very coextensive with the set of people who would join Mastodon

@paulsheprow Don't have any insight into those phenomena - save perhaps that I'm enjoying being on media where people use "eschew".

And being able to add a second paragraph about how I enjoyed being able to write the first paragraph.
