As someone who fully divested from twitter despite being reliant on it early in 2023 I'm here to tell you that you can, in fact, just not use twitter. You can go all in on mastodon. In fact, it'll probably make mastodon work better for you if you do

"What about cool people that are only on Twitter?"

If they were truly cool they wouldn't be *only* on Twitter

@eniko I absolutely agree. I feel like the writing has been on the wall for so long now that it's crazy if you haven't at least slightly divested yourself from Twitter by now. Even businesses should have been looking into diversifying their social media presence!
@eoinoneillPDX a lot of people are gonna have a problem that they wouldn't have had if they had so much as phoned in using other sites for the past 8 months :/
@eniko You're right. I do feel bad for them in that case. It also doesn't help that this site becomes a lot better once you have a decent pool of people you're following (since there's no algorithmic recommendations.)
