David RevoyHey, from now on, I'll be totally inactive on Twitter.
Goodbye Blue Bird.
Blog-post: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article964/goodbye-blue-bird
Olivier Saraja ☕️📚🦖🛸👻@davidrevoy Une décision que je soutiens. J'ai fait la même chose il y a quelques semaines/mois. Non seulement je m'en porte mieux 🙂 mais je réalise de plus que l'engagement sur l'oiseau bleu avait quelque chose de biaisé. Ici, il flotte un tout autre parfum.

@davidrevoy that's amazing news. Also lovely piece :)
Izaro ⁂@davidrevoy well done, it has to be a hard decision for you, but I think you're not going to regreet.
Happy to see and read you in the #Fediverse!

AkacMe too. Closed my account.

Cyber Yuki@davidrevoy I would like to celebrate, but it's more like a tragedy. But it's no use mourning. Time to move on.
@yuki2501 Thank you Cyber Yuki for your message full of empathy. You describe with accuracy my mixed extreme feelings very well with your reply. I'll cope with the loss of a place that was important to me, and I'll try to also celebrate.
@davidrevoy Yeah I was thinking that in terms of cartoons, twitter would be more than a mascot, a place that was ravaged by a Tornado and now become a goblins' den, and Pepper & Carrot having to pack their things and leave.
Codemichael@davidrevoy You've got the right attitude about all of this.❤️ Keep up the great work.
@davidrevoy Uhh the [mattbrown dot dev] link is broken.
@yuki2501 Oh, I can access it here. What I did wrong? If you have an idea for a fix, I can edit. Thanks!
@davidrevoy I think it's not on your side, but the site you linked simply died. Poof. 💨 Gone.
I'd suggest finding another blog post recommending Mastodon and linking to it. Otherwise, why not making your own blog post about Mastodon? That would be interesting! 
EDIT: Wait, you CAN access it? It's probably a DNS issue then.
Hmmm.... 🤔
@yuki2501 Ha, I confirm, the site is gone. The page was probably still on the cache of my browser. I discovered the link here yesterday: https://framapiaf.org/@[email protected]ales/110187851438841944 ;
making my own guide is a good idea, but it's work (but a good idea). I'll redirect somewhere else now. Thanks!

I think this may be the best explanation of how Mastodon works that I've seen in my 5 months of being here. https://mattbrown.dev/mastodon/
LonM@davidrevoy That's a very good write up. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
gee Ⓐ⚑@davidrevoy j'ai un peu le même ressenti que toi : outre le fait que le réseau soit toxique et que je quitte rarement Twitter dans un meilleur état mental qu'en y arrivant, depuis le rachat par Elon, j'ai à la fois explosé mon nombre d'abonné⋅es sur Mastodon ET j'ai l'impression de n'avoir quasiment plus de réponse à ce que je fais sur Twitter.
Perso je continue à poster dessus, mais service minimum (= le tweet d'annonce à chaque article), comme ma page Facebook qui est suivie par 3 pelés 😅
Schmaker@davidrevoy Congratulations. I managed to escape Facebook this way in february.
All that remains there is my empty account with #JoinFediverse and picture explaining my reasons behind it.
It's awesome to be free 😀

Bene@davidrevoy I did the same sone time ago. No regrets, I don‘t miss it one second.
BTW, I only found you and your fantastic comics here on mastodon.
Pacomm@davidrevoy Great news ! Bravo David !
Stemy@davidrevoy Adieu l'oiseau, bonjour le mammouth.
Raoul ꓨ@davidrevoy Great post, as always David. As a young artist I saw how Twitter has become from 'great tool to expose your art' to 'NFT, ChatGPT, AIArt', just like you mentioned.
I hope we can create a better community in Mastodon and connect with people the way it use to be in the blue bird

/lib/sysWow. I'm so happy about this. I can't help but see it as a triumph of the Fediverse. Thanks for this @davidrevoy, and congratulations!
Kommadieb 🌆@davidrevoy Well written. As someone with followers in the lower 3-digits I can't really understand how hard this must be.
Zekovski 🧣@davidrevoy Décision forte. Bon courage à toi dans cette nouvelle page ! :)

Rest in peace... little blue bird, who was born in confidence and hopes.
And live on differently.
Alyssa Voronin@davidrevoy I can only imagine how tough this choice was. I had 80-something Twitter followers and relied on it for 0% of my income, and it still took me until December to abandon the platform.
I hope the post-bird era continues to bring you satisfaction and prosperity.
MyOpinion@davidrevoy Glad you are escaping that hateful bird.

@davidrevoy La mention de l'article que tu as écris un an auparavant rappelle à quel point twitter est en train de tomber très rapidement pour une plateforme qui était majoritaire et assez vielle.
@lanodan Oui, c'est assez dingue de se rendre compte de tout ce que Twitter était encore pour moi dans le vieil article. Mon outil principale de communication, et il y a de ça seulement un an. A présent, quelques heures après ce post, je commence déjà à le voir comme Google+ ou Myspace, déjà un endroit virtuel du passé.
ch0ccyra1n is leaving fedi soon@davidrevoy
Did you make sure to actually delete the account? Otherwise I suspect the bird could lure you back in, as it had previously for some of my friends.

@davidrevoy It takes a lot of strength to leave a vast platform like the birdsite, especially for artists. Though, thankfully, it's getting easier all the time.
Always glad to have you here. 
Wishing you all the best!
RalphartA sound strategy - I've adopted that as well.
FishMom2022@davidrevoy why not just leave the bird altogether?

Amadeus Maximilian@davidrevoy I wish more people and projects would have the courage (and means!) to do as you did. The only reason I still feel like I need to check Twitter is to keep up with the folks that haven't switched yet.
It's not easy to leave a huge audience built over many years behind, especially for independent creators.
I've been a longtime fan of yours and actions like this are part of why. 😊
Janis La Couvée@davidrevoy Twitter m'a changé la vie - j'y ai rencontré des gens incroyables, y incluant mon mari. C'est triste d'avoir à partir.
Son of a Sailor@davidrevoy "I'm tired and exhausted of Twitter." I've left my Twitter account behind for the same reasons. Wishing you good fortune here on Mastodon!

@davidrevoy allez les bon temps!
SSFC KDT (MOVED)@davidrevoy Funny, I did the same today. At least the orgs that refuse to take a stand can't call me a hypocrite anymore.
Bob Young@davidrevoy I stopped using Twitter very shortly after Elon Musk took over, but I kept both of my accounts so that no one can impersonate me or my company.
AT-AT Assault 🏳️⚧️Twitter is a somber, but shining example of what Billionaires (and wealthy people in general) do to society. Sadly, most won't learn this lesson.
Jack Ivers@davidrevoy Welcome, and thanks for the clear, clean “I voted with my feet” move …
Jungle George 🌴🌳🌲🍃@davidrevoy absolutely adore your work 🎨
KiwiNikki@davidrevoy
Same. I have a zombie account on there now. And I gradually deleted who I was following - I’ve posted before how I check up every so often and find that there are extra people that I’m following - just fandoms that Twitter has decided to add.
It’s so much nicer here.

crossgolf_rebel - kostenlose Kwalitätsposts@davidrevoy Thank you for the decision. You can't do justice to any side in this way, whatever ultimately triggered your departure.
Dr. Rakun@davidrevoy
Great piece! So pretty and soothing

@Rakun Thanks! And very good taste for the Grandia avatar. It's one of my favorite Manga stylizations. 😍
Laimis@davidrevoy what a cute graphic!
John Colagioia@davidrevoy Congratulations! At some point, you (especially) might want to look at Tweetback https://github.com/tweetback/tweetback - it creates a nice little archive of your history that, when they update their registry, the individual archives cross-link to each other.
Shannon@davidrevoy You're here though, right? On Mastodon?
@wasootch Yes, Masto has become my primary communication tool.
@davidrevoy Excellent.
Moke 
@davidrevoy took the same decision yesterday. Not easy, but had to be done.
Carl Cravens@davidrevoy It's a big step, turning your back on a social media giant. Especially when it's part of how you promote the work you make a living from.
I'm trying to figure out this lovely image... because "cute blue bird taking a nap" is not how I see twitter right now. Maybe it's the spirit of what Twitter used to be, long ago, now homeless and wandering.
DarekPages@davidrevoy I think thats a good reason to make a cool illustration!
Pixel_Lime@davidrevoy After your post in Twitter I decided to create a profile on Mastodon.
Also, I like the visual part of Mastodon, there are many many cute illustrations with mammoths (or mastodons 🤔)

@Pixel_Lime Hey, welcome. 🙂
You have a cool portfolio on https://blenderartists.org/u/pixel_lime/activity/portfolio , I'll follow your stylised 3D artworks!
I'm sure you'll find a lot of good account with browsing the #b3d and #mastoart and more. Have a good time here.
@davidrevoy Thanks 😘
