Notes > 10 days out of Twitter: Frankly, Mastodon isn’t quite the Twitter replacement many were implicitly hoping to be. Many users have migrated, but their interactions haven’t.

But that’s okay! A lot of expert networks are moving to Discord instead, where there’s a lot more vibrancy (they link back to Twitter but it’ll change soon).

But more importantly, this is helping at a personal level. Feeling a lot more calmer and at peace without Twitter-like drama. So this is good for me.

4) Will do jackshit against actual governmental censorship in India and elsewhere

the bird site is depressing.
