I got on twitter in early 2007 and jumped ship to Mastodon last year. It was a good run but there’s little I miss about twitter. I like it much better here.
@jgownder @mollyjongfast THREE of those are centralized.
TWO of them are outright failing.
Bluesky's "federation" feature is effectively vaporware.
#fediverse is the way
we don't want to be your side chick but I guess we'll take what we can get.
Attached: 1 image Twitter's most recent changes have provoked us to abandon the service for good. It took us some time: we developed a modest yet dedicated and substantial following there, and I curated a helpful collection of follows. We shall now be working almost exclusively from Mastodon.
@mollyjongfast Stay.
Eventually Elmo will make the bird site completely unusable. https://mastodon.cloud/@cspam/110645858832744579
Attached: 1 image Reminder that he's still trying to turn Twitter into a clone of the one successful project he's ever been involved with because he's that unimaginative, but he almost killed that one too. He wanted to name paypal to "X" even after every test audience thought it sounded like a name for a porn website and threw a big tantrum when they went with the name paypal lol... then he insisted they migrate all their servers from Linux to Windows NT4 until the board fired him for being an idiot
@mollyjongfast Good to see you here.
I’m making a conscious choice to spend less time at the other place now.
@mollyjongfast Long time pod follower here. I'm 'habituated' to Twitter, really miss an algorithmic feed. Early adopter of Mastodon.
I suspect it will be 'boom and bust': Twitter & Bluesky fail, people sign on Masto. Then get lazy and go back. Then back again after new crisis.
Mastodon's more dull, but it's stable. No one central point to destroy. Will always be there for us, less exciting. It's the PBS or BBC of social media.
