On Mastodon for the first time today and I already switched servers. I can tell this is gonna be big already!

500 characters? Really?

I don't mind if it's not big. If it's a weird niche site where I can keep up with a few friends maybe that's okay? It won't have the feral hog moments that made Twitter so special, but those are already on TikTok anyway.

@mpd I won't mind missing the main character moments. (Also, hi! Also, why did you switch severs?)
@tessr I started on mastodon.cloud because Mekka Okereke was there, and he's someone I generally trust. But the admin structure was a little opaque, so when I found out that there was a server specifically run by-and-for ex-Tweeps, I moved. Felt like it was less likely to run into trouble in six months, and equally likely to exist (or not) in three years, so I moved before investing any time or effort on the platform. (Hi! glad/sorry you left Twitter in the appropriate ratio!)
@mpd it really was "we're sorry or you're welcome" all the way to the end.
