I'm genuinely perplexed by people who continue to use Twitter. It was clear to me as soon as it was announced that Elon would be buying it that it was time to abandon ship. Not only does he have a history of being completely unethical, but he clearly signaled that he would be doing things to enshitify the platform. Why would anyone want to support that? Does most of the user base simply lack moral integrity?

Trying to get re-assimilated again over here! If you're into horror, cult films, grindhouse movies, pop art or anything loosely associated with weird-ass cinema, give me a follow and I'll do the same!

Just a quick tip for #TwitterMigtation folks.

If the first thing you do here is post some clout chasing "Reblog I'd you agree" crap, I'm going to block you and you're probably going to annoy people.

It was dumb on Twitter when there was an algorithm that actually surfaced those posts, and it's just toxic here.

Picture yourself running down the street yelling for people to agree with you. It's ridiculous, right?

With #TwitterMigtation this instance's local timeline is getting better. It was flooded with ads in sometime and I never tried to check it after...
@sofarrsogud the #TwitterMigtation is real—a surprising (and pleasing) number have arrived in the last few days. I’m finding many old, and lots of new, folks to connect with. Having a hard time keeping up with vetting the follows on my alternate account but enjoying the general calm and civility in the #Federverse , building connections, and having conversations rather than shouting matches…

A reminder of the amazing job that #Mastodon volunteers have been doing in the face of the #twittermigtation

Twitter Users Have Caused a Mastodon Meltdown

The network’s servers are overrun by almost half a million new sign-ups, as Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover has thrust it into the spotlight.

WIRED UK

Hi #Mastodev teams: watching the huge influx of #TwitterMigtation going on and seeing new users dig in... DEFINITELY vote for prioritizing two things:

1. Shareable, Followable Lists

2. Followable Public Instances - so if I love a journalism instance, that my account isn't hosted on, I can still with one click follow all public posts from them.

I think both are in the works and both of these features will help immensely...

Also: Any chance we could rename "instances" into "communities"
