You don’t actually miss Twitter. You miss who you were 10 years ago.
@Daojoan And what Twitter was ten years ago. Ten Years Ago Twitter is still the best social network on the planet, hands down. It's even better than the Fediverse. ;-)

@Daojoan fair.

I remember the night we announced we got bin Laden. Twitter apex, imo. So much speculation coalescing and then celebrating in advance of Obama's speech. Excellent times.

@Daojoan And that's the thing. I don’t miss the person I was even a year ago.

It seems like the ones who can’t move past it are the same folks who believe that high school was the best time of their life, and they'll never be truly happy again.

They're still caught up in that nostalgia, clinging to the time when their 'viral' tweet got 20 likes.

@Daojoan
I don't, I am exactly the same as I was 10 and 20 years ago.
@Iris_IllEra @Daojoan I'm so sorry to hear that.
@ariaflame @Daojoan Keep your pity to yourself, child of sated times.
@Iris_IllEra @Daojoan If you say so. When are sated times?
@ariaflame @Daojoan
Hopefully soon they will be over, so that they can start truly.
@Daojoan You've discovered the "middle age regret generator". Simply insert variables as needed. As in:
"I don't actually miss reading my email on a teleprinter. I miss who I was 35 years ago."
@Daojoan I dont really miss myself from 10 years ago. I miss my back and knees from 10 years ago.
@Daojoan i miss my friends, the few who came here were chased away by toxic culture, the rest all are on Bluesky now. a social network is not a server stack.
@Daojoan The person 10 years ago still had hope.
@Daojoan I can't miss Twitter because I have what is better . It's called X.

@Daojoan some people wanna keep being the same as in #twitter (or worst, they can't change) and that is bad:

https://mastodon.social/@awkapuma/113476184307147547

@Daojoan I never got into Twitter. I left Reddit in 2023 and I've loved Mastodon since!
@KnittingMittens @Daojoan same, I was mostly reddit with a bit of Mastodon til Reddit went tits up
@Daojoan No, I'm better in every way.
@Daojoan Neither. I've never used Twitter and I think I'm a much better person overall than I was ten years ago. 😜
@Daojoan @semit0ne maybe because you didn’t use Twitter and peered into the eyes of the darkest soul of humanity
@lisamelton @Daojoan I really don't. I was an absolute prick on Twitter. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that anymore.

@Daojoan

As I left back in January-February of this year. I did at first but I LOVE Mastodon more.

@Daojoan 3 years. I had account for longer term but started using cause of russia war.
@Daojoan Actually, I miss my friends from Twitter that haven't moved or rarely use other social medias.
@Daojoan I miss who everyone else was 10 years ago
@Daojoan
I miss Jorts.
Also, who I was 10 years ago.
@Daojoan
Mostly, who I thought other people were 10 years ago.
@Daojoan and who you thought your friends were, before all was revealed...
