Checking in here again because of Elon. Man, I really wish Mastodon had happened. Cannot stand Twitter right now

Haha, listen. I was a HUGE advocate for Mastodon. I wanted nothing more than for this place to happen

But come on, it hasn’t. It’s genuinely amazing that people have found nice communities etc on here, I’m jealous!

But no, it hasn’t happened. And unfortunately, the setup of Mastodon (servers etc) likely means it can’t really ever go big.

I hope one day it does and you can all rub it in my face!!!

@mikerose I mean, it will never be a Twitter replacement, or a large bursting social network like Facebook or anything else, but that is a good thing.
So far I’m getting great engagement here for the comparably little followers I have.

This place is alive and I think the reason you’re not seeing this is because you’re on mastodon.social that has been riddled with problems since forever now

@mikerose I mean, I see you gained 2.5k followers without even posting :P that’s definitely not nothing
@sos I got those while posting, it stopped once I stopped (which make sense!)
@mikerose ahh, weird because your profile is not showing any posts!
@sos @mikerose I see a bunch of posts?
@Tijn @mikerose I only see three. Must be the instance acting up again truly
@sos @mikerose Yeah weird. I see a lot more!
@Tijn @sos @mikerose Probably just this?
