When Twitter collapsed, it was great to see the flood of friends, game devs and other come to Mastodon. Over the next 9 months a lot of them vanished to Threads, BlueSky or just left. I want to thank all people who are still on Mastodon and make it a wonderful place. You know who you are.

i've tried to like BlueSky but there's just so much superficial garbage and practically 0 engagement on anything of technical substance.

i suppose there's a reason people on there block 56,000 different accounts

@gloriouscow @grumpygamer

I had 386 accounts blocked on BSky when I got fed up with the BS and came over here due to open ableism and body shaming (I'm disabled and have NEVER been small). Do I miss it? Hell no. I'm not obsessed with my numbers. I just want a place where I can occasionally post, leave some comments, and maybe make a few friends. It's nice to be free of the algorithms.
