@hacks4pancakes This is the extreme position that made the Republicans win in 2024. I bought a Tesla before Musk went crazy and I’m still paying for it. I believe in science and I don’t want to go back to a gas car but I can’t afford buying a new EV. I reduced my use of Twitter, but there are still communities that are very active there and I engage with them. If that means you think I stand to the right or close to the crazies that are governing our country, well, you’re completely wrong.

@botolo86 @hacks4pancakes I keep hearing people saying they can't drop Twitter because it's essential to reach certain communities but I've never heard anyone say what these communities are. Everyone I know who has tried dropping it for mastodon hasn't missed it and loads of influencer types have said that even though the follower counts are lower they get more engagement from the smaller number of real people than the hordes of bots.

@stark @hacks4pancakes In my case it’s 3d printing and retrogaming folks. Most of the companies and top users I follow don’t have an account here on Mastodon.
