The thing is, even if the other site isn't dying, Elon will at some point shut down the site for a few hours just for laughs
I’ve been busy last few days so haven’t explored Mastodon properly. Sorry if I haven’t yet replied to comments or followed back - but I will! First impressions are that it’s a much kinder, less toxic site than the other place.
The petulant, narcissistic manchild appears to have destroyed Twitter, which is really sad. It’s a relief and very comforting therefore, that I can see so many Twitter friends have made the move over.
Love to all. Chris xx

Have seen it's the convention to add image descriptions to posts, so I'm trying it out. Enjoy these giant pumpkins from a recent trip to the Malvern Autumn Show

@karlenrusso its because what you say doesnt get hidden by some algorithm.

its very interesting to discover all this, and realise how much twitter's algorithms changed what i saw / who saw me / who i interacted with and i feel foolish for not realising it earlier

After a couple of hours of pressing random buttons I think I'm slowly getting to grips with things over here. I certainly feel more 'seen' here than in the other place. Feeling positive!

Until now I hadn’t appreciated that were very serious structural problems at Twitter. I thought Elon would make it messy, but it would robustly continue. This below, however, is starting to make me much more concerned.

I came across to Mastodon out of curiosity, fun, sense of opportunity & respect for the concept. Now I’m thinking it’s a vital hedge for us all against serious Twitter risks, including collapse.
