#twitter #fellas #twitterdown Two days ago my account on Twitter was about to hit 1000 followers and I was locked out, tried for hours to get in, but was unsuccessful. I created a new Twitter account yesterday, when I view it on my iPhone 24 hours later I still cannot see anything, still getting rate limit exceeded. Does anyone have information on this? If I use Safari on iPhone to log into Twitter, I have more viewing capabilities. Please let me know your thoughts.

@phellanthropist Twitter is dying.
One minute I'm restricted because I'm 'Scraping Data' and the next minute I'm a Spam Bot and I can't like or post anything.
Time to start collecting followers here.

@OldTallGuy I couldn’t agree more! Mastodon is very new to me, and I am trying to get the hang of it. As someone else pointed out, no ads, no elmo, no ownership or CEO trying to manipulate algorithms. It will take time to get used to this new platform, and hopefully it continues to grow… but I must say that so far I really like it!

I've had an account here for a while but I didn't take the time to learn about Mastodon and my account was stagnant. So now I'm a neophyte learning how to navigate the place.

The tone here seems to be more laid back and I'm encouraging my Twitter followers to join here when I'm allowed to post there.
