Needing a Twitter/Mastodon pep talk.... I set up a Mastodon acct, have followed some folks and have some followers. I like the interactions on Mastodon better than on Twitter. But many folks I follow on Twitter to keep up with various things are not on Mastodon. So... I'd rather not have to keep up on 2 SM platforms where before I kept up with only 1. Your thoughts on my choices: (a) Drop Twitter and risk missing out on stuff important to me? (b) Drop Mastodon and miss out on better (...)
@rhetoricked Personally I found that many of the people I followed on Twitter hadn't tweeted anything in months or years. When I eliminated all those, and all of the people who I had already found on #Mastodon, there were only around one or two dozen accounts left (don't recall the exact number) and some of those were just not important to me. I use bird.makeup to keep track of the few that are. My feeling is that one day Twitter is going to just disappear when creditors start pulling the plug, and like some others I have the suspicion that is what the Muskrat intended all along - he doesn't really like or care for Twitter so if he can drive it into the ground that is kind of a Pyrrhic victory for him.
