Either way, for the ones that plan on remaining, I hope you can enjoy this place. Sure there's drama here too but IMHO, it's not as awful as twitter drama :/

For those of you who are only here until Elon gets twitter "normal" again, or until Bluesky is open for normal sign up, uh, bye.

Even when fedi gets more people there are ways to make your experience small and meaningful without having to sacrifice your ability to reach out to the larger community.

If your experience was small on twitter that's because you weren't giving dickish enough hot takes to let people know you had something to say. : /

I just do not miss Twitter. I don't care that I have to be bothered to read over a list of servers, this place is genuinely better than Twitter.

On Twitter you had to deal with swarms of bigots and that was before Elon started letting them buy megaphones.

Twitter was a place that said it had rules against bigotry but if it was a big enough account at worst they'd silence them for a little bit and all it'd take to let them harass people all over again was removing a single fucking tweet.

But a bunch of people fucked right on off because it wasn't literally just Twitter with a different name.

And now I swear if I see it mentioned by people outside of fedi it's all "That place was confusing. It was so hard. Bluesky is easier. Anyone got an invite code I can have?"

Along with "They sure are overbearing with their moderation over there."

Well excuse me if this place isn't as tolerant of Nazis.

Like, I get why a bunch of y'all came here. I do. I had an account here in some capacity for years but I never got much use out of it until last November for the same reasons y'all here now.

Elon was fucking some shit and I decided I needed to be away from there. And when I finally had a reason to give fedi the uninterrupted chance it deserved, well wouldn't you know it I only had more reason to stay.
