mtswHey if you're here because Twitter/X is down, just stay here. Delete the Twitter app from your phone - like genuinely tab out and do it right now - lock your account when the site's back up, and stop posting there already.
Mushifoot@mtsw Would love it if my labor & Michigan politics friends made the shift.
Brennan Stehling@AdditionalQuench @mtsw They need a reason to be here. There were active accounts on that platform that attracted people for years. What is on Mastodon which you think would get them interested?
Doreen32128 ready to rumble!@Doreen32128 @AdditionalQuench @mtsw Personally I don’t want this space dominated by celebrities and politicians. I think we should have fun among ourselves. What do you do for fun? Would you like to meet others who live nearby who’d like to get together for activities? I’m thinking of hiking, biking, cooking, baking, stitching, woodworking, gaming, etc.
Dan@brennansv @Doreen32128 @AdditionalQuench @mtsw I disagree.
The corporates, velebs, politicians are a neccassay presence for a successful social media site....
That being said the beauty of the #fediverse is that they they should have their own instances and stick to them.
This makes it easy for people to filter what they see
@Dasy2k1 @Doreen32128 @AdditionalQuench @mtsw I found the bird site optimized for the accounts with millions of followers and neglected regular people. Soon I could not find out what was happening in the city because people would not bother posting. I don’t want that to happen here.
