As happy as I am to see this big #TwitterExodus to #Mastodon during this slow-motion #Muskpocalypse, I am frustrated that there hasn't been a similar #FacebookExodus and #InstaExodus from the #Zuckerverse to the #Fediverse. What would it take to #unZuck your IRL networks of friends and family?
@Pwnallthethings it’ll calm down. There was a crazy surge a few years ago and then it got calm. I think this time it won’t get “calm” but it’ll get calmer. I hope people figure out to use #lists.

Okay, not seconds after hearing the news, I've decided sooner or later I'm gonna have no other choice but to jump ship from Twitter and set up shop here. (Or Cohost, whichever works best for me.)

And I've lovingly named the whole Elon Musk x Twitter situation: #muskpocalypse .

I'm gonna be testing both platforms over the coming days and depending on which one suits me best will be more active once this new pay-to-be-seen algorithm is kicked into gear on Twitter.

I realize he's just joking around, but wouldn't it be a trip if Snoop bought Twitter out from under Elon. #Twitter #muskpocalypse #SnoopDogg
