It’s really sad for people who lost their trusted online home in #Twitter with the Musk takeover. He really shows who he is now by firing half the staff blindly, he simply doesn’t care about the human aspect.

Try to see it positive since now you have discovered a place that’s as much as fun and probably even more! We may not have the numbers but we make up for that by kindness and interaction with each other🥰♥️

A social network is not defined by its numbers but by its community 

@stux so far, it’s been a very nice experience, but it seems hard to convince others who haven’t moved…
@Htaggert @stux I think it’s getting easier to convince people with each day as more of us report back that “you really need to try this out.”
@legallaurak @stux true. Some fold made an account but then haven’t used it. So of course- it’s foreign to them. I mean- I work for about 30 hospitals each one has “customized” their medical records- so I guess I’m just used to peering around the inter webs wondering what happens when I push a button!
@Htaggert @stux it’s certainly not an instant fall in love experience. I think a lot of us have gotten so used to the Twitter model as it is today (well as it was a week ago…🙄) that we forget there might be other options. I hesitated for almost a week even though people were saying they were on mastodon now, because people were also saying it was too confusing.
@legallaurak @stux I think my usual day to day dive into weird systems is helping me- so far I just feel I’m missing the weekly group chats we had on Twitter- #RunChat etc
