Hmmm... I'm trying my darndest to get Twitter users to at least consider trying Mastodon. :") I know many mutuals who would be happy here rather than jumping onto another corporate/exploitative social media, but sometimes it feels like I'm talking to a brick wall. I speak from observing the cycle of corporate social media for 10+ years.

Bsky/Threads/Instagram/Etc are the "easier" options despite being detrimental to the future of networking. Sigh.

@Snewdraws Mastodon has a lot of bumps to overcome, it's already been around for several years and it still doesn't function as intuitively as Twitter did even in 2009. It's not a good look. I genuinely want it to do better but it will remain niche if the community sit on their hands.
