"Oh, you still post to Twitter? Well, anyone still on Twitter is a bad person and we Mastodon purists are their obvious moral superiors"

Hon, this insufferable shit is exactly why people don't WANT to make the move to Mastodon

Mastodon users need to understand that there was a CLEAR window where Mastodon *could* have offered a viable new home to a pretty vast network of folks.

And instead existing community response was to whine about how quote tweet-style functionality was a bridge too far, and how Black people needed to hide their trauma behind content warnings.

@gwensnyder I'm feeling like Mastadon is suffering a bit from the Google Circles issues - sure, it's there, and anyone can use it, but it seems a little too open / weird.

It'll continue on (unlike circles) but it'll never be the "it" thing.

And ... I think a lot of the main users are 100% ok with that.
