I am genuinely delighted that there is a non-centralised alternative to Twitter. And from what I've seen, you people are a lovely community (or rather, set of communities).

But this is very much not my environment.

The mere fact that many people feel they should hide talk of politics behind a content warning tag says it all, I think.

From what I've seen, this place is much more like my old IRC channel than it is like Twitter.

That's not a bad thing, mind you. Au contraire.

But it's not what I'm here for. I'm on the birdsite for news and analysis, very little of what I see here.

This is a great place, but it's not my place.

And so I'm outta here, at least for now. Good luck, and thanks for all the toots!

@kyrah it's somewhere between twitter and IRC, very clearly. That being said, you can't expect a new social network which comes after Facebook and Twitter (which already managed to get most of the users in nearly 10 years) to do as well in only a few months. as a result you can't really expect news media, etc to be as interested in here as they are in twitter.
Anyway... see you later, maybe :)
