Exile from the other place. It'll still be mostly Chelsea and socially liberal politics, which makes me doubly out of place on this (checks notes) IT focussed server.

Last re...erm, retoot: There are good reasons for ditching twitter. Personally, I'm sticking around as:
a) it takes time for a critical mass of the current people I interact with the most to shift to a non-threads alternative.
b) my presence costs space nonce defender money. I report the swathes of scam ads that pop on my TL; I don't pay his twat tax and I don't interact with those that do.
c) I want to be there the day he gets called to an emergency investors meeting in a neutral embassy

@LeftbackICR Same! It's a slow growth with BS but I imagine that will change as it comes out of essentially Beta and opens up.

Interesting numbers here: I honestly thought BS would have more users and Mastodon fewer. But BS suffers from the invite system, which puts a hold on people signing up on impulse (like when space karen does yet another stupid thing); and Masto is just too fragmented and only works if you port over a whole base. Threads, of course, cheated by just making everybody on their other sites a user.

This is quite fun. @greatesthitsuk News just played out fifteen minutes early, the afternoon DJ started talking before Ken’s show finished, and now they’re playing China Girl and Country House at the same time.

Not sure there's anyone here who uses my OpenTTD stuff, but I've done a BIG update across multiple sets with a hefty dose of looknice for people using double size GUI scaling, balance improvements, more passenger road vehicles for the Victorian era and possibly the silliest thing I've added in a while, the ability to turn your horse-drawn narrow gauge lines into gravity railways.

(Early on, it's the fastest way to get cargo from A to B! All you need is a big hill...)
