Most of the interesting content is still on #Twitter, but the platform is unusable. Full of bots, trolls and Nazis (and physics deniers ofc) since the #ElonMusk takeover, the last straw was the implementation of a #RateLimit because the richest man on earth cannot pay his server bills. Still using, but for read only - the only button I'm still using is the block button.
Now there is #Threads by #Meta which is all you need to know. Other than on Twitter there is no way to avoid the algorithm and just see posts by those you follow. And they want all your data and more, because it's Meta. Not an option.
Will stick with #Mastodon even though it's still so quiet here compared to those other platforms.
Would love to #crosspost to Twitter at least but all the tools for this have stopped to work.
@martha If you find it quiet here I’d recommend following more people. As I reached about 600 “followees” Mastodon became more active than Twitter for me, even though I follow more people on Twitter. Now at 900+ followees it’s impossible for me to keep up with everything!
That being said, I do miss part of my old network which remained on Twitter. But I haven’t lost hope that they’ll join us eventually :)
