Casey NewtonI had hoped by now that the media would have begun to divorce Twitter. Instead, some journalists are doubling down.
Some thoughts on why:

Rick Ellis - AllYourScreens@caseynewton The decline of Twitter has made things more difficult for me because I'm now juggling audiences across Twitter, Mastodon, Post & Spoutible
FWIW, I've found using the ELK web interface makes the Mastodon experience much more pleasant. Although as you say, the lack of a reply quote feature is a minus
The ironic thing is that while the perception in the public is that quote tweeting leads to an increase in bullying, multiple studies dispute that. What matters is a chronological feed
AccordionBruce@AccordionBruce @caseynewton Twitter engineers did a bunch of user studies and found that a chronological feed made dunking and abuse a lot less likely. It apparently has something to do with the tweets being more in context, rather than some random thing popping up. And that out of context quality encourages people to dunk on the tweet. It sounds a bit counter-intuitive, but apparently they have a lot of data to support it.
@aysrick @caseynewton
Rational / sequential conversation leading to less abuse seems reasonable 🤷🏻♂️
Nix that feature!
