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.
@grumpygamer I joined Mastodon after I was fed up with Twitter. So far, I love mastodon and fedi.
Form me, the hardest thing is getting my leg over the threshold -- I wanted to run my own instance and the docs were quite confusing. Also, the federation mechanism is confusing but luckily I had a friend explain it to me.
The other issue was that I knew a lot of people on Reddit, and that was hard to leave. I ended up convincing some to move over.
I ended up deleting my Reddit accounts.
