I boosted this. It is not helpful, but it is true. Especially the last toot of the thread. How can we change it? I want to change it. My ideal is this type of federated platform with the same breadth of users as the #birdsite. The only way I can imagine that happening is out of my control because I am not a user with large amounts of people who want to hear what I say. But for those who do, I try to share my toot threads on the other site to draw at least some views if not some converts.

I was going to make this into a much longer thread but I’ll just cut to the chase: I’m likely leaving this space, and almost certainly going back to Twitter. I’m not going to delete my Mastodon account, but don’t see myself using it for the foreseeable future. I’m finishing my 7th month here. I’m a monthly donor to my instance and have given money to others. I wanted to be here, and in this model of social media. But it came down to this: the people aren’t here.
