sysop408, I've read a few posts recently from people who lament that 1) they miss their Twitter friends and 2) they couldn't convince them to follow them over to here.
I've spent a little more time exploring the other networks lately and I've found my old Twitter gang.
They're on #Threads. A lot of them are still on Twitter, but it looks like they're slowly drifting over to Threads as their platform of choice.
