I don't think Mastodon's perfect, but if we trade one corporate-owned, closed network for another we've learned nothing.
To my friends migrating from Twitter to Mastodon, I can't recommend http://movetodon.org enough for finding your follows on the new site. It will probably stop working soon as Fakesavant Babyman is having multiple tantrums. Takes a few minutes to work, but the "follow all" button makes it easy.
If you're also migrating to Post, Seth Abramson's lists are indispensable.
Movetodon: Finds your Twitter Friends on Mastodon

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.

If you go to https://spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction

Space Karen Sucks

Free speech really should be free. To bypass the new censorship regime at twitter, use this URL shortener to link to Mastodon or other censored destinations. Considering recent policy decisions on twitter, please be aware that use of links generated from this site may constitute a violation of their policy.
