Over many years, I have been gradually replacing all of the paragraphs in the Ship of Theseus Wikipedia article.
did somebody say NUMBATS?!?! #WildOz @ewen
did you know it’s free to say, β€œI don’t know enough to weigh in” and skateboard away like bart simpson
Does anyone have good examples of shared pedestrian / cyclist spaces? I am often asked for feedback on new bits of bike path which typically runs past train stations. Rather than paying for grade separation the project designers instead mix people walking to the station with those using the bike path and then ask me what they can do to stop conflicts from occurring! Any suggestions of where this has actually worked? Thanks :) #ActiveTransport #BikeTooter

Remind me, who is heading to the Micromobility Conference in Sydney next week? I’m looking forward to meeting people in person and trying out all the cargo bikes! Any CWANZ or bike org folks on here? #ActiveTransport #Micromobility #BikeTooter #cycling

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement.

For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"β€”let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously).

"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.

There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.

It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.

Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.
