We stay and fight on Twitter. We will outlast the narcissists/crazies. However, also good to have alternatives. So far I have been using Mastodon and http://post.news which is in beta testing & has a waitlist that goes quickly.

There is a waitlist for http://post.news bc it is still a new app in testing (though it looks very good to me right now). That being said I do not expect the wait to be long at all. Thousands have already been invited on, more everyday.

@richsignorelli I’m on the waitlist. I’ve heard good things about the site. Looking forward to checking it out. Whenever they decide to let me on 😂
@richsignorelli I have my invite, but I’m holding off during the beta testing period.
@CharJTF I decided to take the plunge after all. Post is functional, but has some quirks.

@socalvillaguy I'm one of 4000 who got the invitation but haven't used it yet.

Maybe I'll try it this weekend.

@richsignorelli I was 31k+ in the waiting list line on Sunday and got invited on yesterday. So now I’m in! I’m no tech wiz, but so far, I’m preferring Mastadon to Post. Especially by accessing it via the Metatext app. If only we [I, at least] could grasp or maybe Mastadon nix the bazillion separate servers … 😵‍💫
@richsignorelli no you won’t outlast the crazies on #twitter . Not going to happen. I appreciate your work.
@richsignorelli I'm not so sure fighting is the answer. As the story goes, when the right hand hurts the left, or the left hand hurts the right, there is only more pain for both.
@richsignorelli by staying and posting, you’re providing free content they use to keep other accounts active and encourage ads. You’re making money for a platform that promotes hate and antivax conspiracy theories
@Starlight
I will be tweeting less until we outlast them. Maybe a lot less but still important to stay for future.

@richsignorelli Twitter is currently an overflowing cesspool. Tired of fighting. You'll never convince #MAGA dumbasses they're screwing up our country. Bots are in the hundred of millions. Good info buried.

I'm on post as well. So far, not a fan... But it's till in beta. What I don't like is the "$tip" thing. I hate that it's staring me in the face. I appreciate content but come on... Just not for me.

@richsignorelli @MDfromNY What is the “$tip” thing? Donation request?
@RossoVino @richsignorelli I believe so. I'm not paying for someone opinion or popularity. I guess if that's all they do and provide valuable content it's fine, but it's staring you in the face all the time. And how does it work? Get a 1099? Lol...

@richsignorelli

You cannot beat a computer program that is aimed against you and you have no way to write your own code on that platform to combat it.

@richsignorelli cool, I used your link and am now 111221 on the wait list. What do they add , maybe 10 people a day? :-)
@richsignorelli One advantage of Mastodon is that it's pretty much controlled by the users and so unlikely to be taken over by some narcissist billionaire.
@richsignorelli
Not interested in another social media site that is monetized & run by one person. Been there, done that. As for twitter, it is a business run by a nazi, & he owns it, so it's his to do what he wants, just like any other business. By you & others staying, you are supporting a nazi & fascism. There is no fighting it while you are there, as it's private. When you leave, that is one less person to see their ads, etc, thereby starving the beast. #saynotofascism
@richsignorelli exactly! I'm on the Post waiting list. I'll look for you when I get there..
