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 wish I had a platform to promote people to come here. I generally just ask artists or others if they have a mastadon as well (in a *hint hint* kind of way)

I believe the person that makes a bluesky/mastadon bridge app (where if you post you post to both at the same time) will do well, and will kind of allow artists and others to naturally pivot over to here.
