Around November last year is when I greatly reduced my use of Twitter and really started engaging on Fedi. I had an account on mstdn.social but ditched that for hachyderm.io, then made an account later on blorbo.social and then moved hachyderm account to blahaj.zone, and also moved blorbo.social to sakurajima.social (somewhere between all of that, I made a misskey.io account, which I still have, and I made a kbin.social account).
Anyway, just wanna say that I definitely enjoy my time here. It's unfortunate that some friends from Twitter have decided to go to other platforms (recently reached out to some and they have made a new home in bluesky), but moving always had these consequences. Made new friends, followed a lot of different people, built a cozy corner here.
So, this is my fediversary post (made up date because it's not quite when I made my first account).
Glad to have met everyone! I hope to see more growth and improvement in Fedi's various projects, especially in moderation tools and safety (both been and still is an important topic of conversation on here).
@geraineon yeah it really is too bad that different people I knew on twitter have gone in different directions; I definitely have some friends who have made their home on bluesky, some who stayed on twitter, some who seem to have disappeared from public social media entirely. But it's so good to have found new people and made new friends here as well - and I'm so glad to have met you!
@soph_sol Yeah. Everytime something like this happens, networks break and fandom spaces scatter... But we always rebuild and someday we can meet again on the Internet (has happened to me). Friends on Bluesky are trying to convince me to go there but haha I think I'm very done with corpo social media and I have a lot of doubts about Bluesky. And I definitely know people who decided they will not do social media anymore (a valid choice!)
