[REDACTED]™, Instance MigratorThe people who run over here whenever #Twitter has an issue only to jump right back when the smoke clears are going to end up with fewer and fewer #engagements the more they repeat that routine.
What I have discovered about #Mastodon is it is entirely about conversing. Over on the #birdsite these people would just label folks who embraced commenting on public posts as "reply guys"... as if there was something wrong with daring to intrude on their timelines.
Over here I've realized we're all basically #replyguys and that's how it functions. This place is like an old school #BBS or forum and those were entirely based on chatting it up with anyone who said anything that remotely interested you.
So these #snowbirds who rush over here, post a few things, then disappear again are going to see dwindling numbers for their backup account.
Why would people here continue to waste time on folks who have made it clear they don't want to see your responses and -- even if they do -- are going to fart right off as soon as they can log back into the #algorithm?
After the last #TwitterOutage (the #RateLimit evening) I immediately flagged several accounts from there that had created something here and realized they were like the relative who only shows up when they need money.
Except it isn't $$$ for them, it's those sweet #notifications they want the #Fediverse to supply whole their regular hangout is being fumigated.
On the other hand, for every #ElonMusk ego-fart we do end up with some new people who embrace the difference. So not everyone who races to their password vault for their #instance's credentials is poorly-dressed Uncle Larry.
Anyway it's almost #caturday stateside so here's something for sticking around for this late night #ZZZQuil brain dump. Our big, doofy boy:
