I gave up over a 150,000 followers on Twitter to be on Mastodon full time. Yes, the engagement and reach is a lot less, but I'll build it back up and it will be worth it. I hate to see people run back to Twitter because of friends or careers or whatever. You know what changes that? Being on Mastodon and bring those people here. Musk is a horrible person, don't be one of his enablers.

Thank you 🙏

Numbers mean nothing if they're enabling someone like Musk.

Also, it is possible to build followings on here. @thunderbird now has as many followers on here as it does on Twitter, for example.

@FediThing @grumpygamer It's also worth mentioning the engagement here is much more meaningful.

Ron, just be you, have some nice conversations, and use relevant hashtags whenever you can.
