Since Musk is now using Twitter to both promote misinformation *and* endorse a political party, I'm no longer contributing my efforts there. I'm all in over here. Let's make this thing work.
@smotus Just did the same today. Sent my final tweet and I'm out!
@smotus
I have to say, reading the responses to your final thread made me want to officially quit twitter too. Just awful.
@heydebigale Yeah I'm making a point of neither encouraging or discouraging people to leave. I really don't know what the right path is. I just felt I couldn't be there anymore.
@smotus joining you here! It’s a new era! Please tell me this will be easier to master than Python (sheepish STATA user).
@smotus if the content moves here, so will the readers.

@smotus welcome from a fellow Birdie site refuges.

2 days old in Mastodon!

@smotus πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
@smotus I blocked him on the way out. I like to think it would wind him up, But you know he had an OverGod mode installed already ;)
@smotus bahahaha youre still a clown here.
@smotus in the same boat here. Only still on the bird app to wrangle people over here.
@smotus Yes, let's make this work. I think it's quite a shame what is happening now with #Twitter. But I am glad we have #Mastodon now.

@smotus It already is working, from what I can see after just 24 hours.

Quite incredible, really, for a platform created in 2016 with one 29 y/o employee in Germany (of course, others contribute work to manage the thousands of unique servers).

@smotus I’m using both till it becomes unbearable. Musk never trusted the guy for along time . He is losing Twitter users by the drives πŸ‘
@smotus sound. And agreed! I still have a twitter account, but it just echoes other social media stuff. I had another account I used for β€œpolitical” stuff, and the seething mass of hideous, spiteful, angry, anxious and victimhood-clutching right-wing nastiness on there persuaded me here.
