The different Twitter-exodus social-media platforms as if they were neighborhoods, so far:

Mastodon/the Fediverse: the neighborhood around a university with a ton of cool houses full of cool people, but half of them are out of milk or toilet paper or both

Post: giant gleaming planned community with nothing walkable and a dubious HOA

Hive: initially-kickass converted warehouse that turns out to have two toilets and one exit and no fire suppression

@kathryntewson I've realized post just won't work for litigation disaster tours; they need to be threaded in bite-sized chunks and Post doesn't allow that
@AkivaMCohen @kathryntewson That's probably the only thing I miss from Twitter is how they handled threads. SO much easier to follow...

I miss QTs and threading, neither of which Twitter had when I started but goodness they were improvements.

@tznkai @Mynameisvu @AkivaMCohen @kathryntewson I’ve signed up for the beta of Spoutible. It will launch once 100,000 have signed up. Currently about 95K I think. Interface is apparently a lot like Twitter. Moderated. We’ll see. If interested in testing Spoutible, see @cbouzy on Twitter.
@chichirobado @tznkai @Mynameisvu @kathryntewson Given how completely insane bouzy has seemed in other contexts, I'm not sanguine.
