I've been loosely tracking several social platforms and protocols that are either in #development or are out there and people have migrated to from the #birdsite:

* #Mastodon
* #Post.news
* #Hive
* #Nostr (now funded by ex-tweep )
* #T2.Social (ex-tweep)
* #Spill-app.com (ex-#tweep)
* #Spoutible
* #Bluesky

Right now, Mastodon is the only one that fits as a daily driver for me, mainly due to network effects -- nearly everyone I know came here, and there are so many interesting people & posts.

Yay, I'm finally here with my #WarrenDemocrat and progressive #Tweep #twexit #TwitterRefugee fam! I'm still learning this #Mastodon thing, so I hope my follows all transferred, but...

You all rock! Righteous fights, LFG! ✊😊

Having been an employee on an H-1B visa myself, I can attest to the constant crawling fear that your home will be yanked out from under you by business moves you have no control over.

I hope she's able to help some people keep their lives togetner.

I’m an H-1B attorney. My spouse has been a #tweep for 6 years. If anyone impacted by the Twitter layoffs on H-1B would benefit from a review of regulations regarding being laid off on H-1B or F, DMs are open. 💙 #lovewhereyouworked
