I had a Twitter list "standard stuff" where I listed the core accounts I definitely wanted to hear about. This fav list grew over the years and had 120 users in total. These were active users that in the golden era posted every day. These were the ones I wanted to read whenever possible.

I wanted to see what's the status today so I went through every account and here's the result. By "inactive" I mean users who haven't posted anything in two months or more.

  • 20% have completely deleted their account (the list now has 95 users)
  • 36% still post frequently
  • 64% are inactive or quit using Twitter
  • 30% are inactive without any reason given
  • 23% of those who still post on X also have active Mastodon, Bluesky or Threads accounts
  • 1% quit and moved to Bluesky
  • 1% quit and moved to Mastodon
  • 1% is active on Threads

@rolle I deleted my Twitter account and moved to Mastodon. I have made accounts on Thread and Bluesky, but they only have a post pointing to my Mastodon account. I really enjoy spelunking in the streams, finding new people to follow in a slow and "organic" way, instead of being algorithm-fed!

To those who just found their favorite social medium inaccessible.

I was upset when Google+ shut down. I moved to Twitter. Then Musk tore Twitter apart and last November, I deleted my Twitter account and had another go at Mastodon.

Now I feel at home, and really enjoy the thriving communities that can be found here, and I keep rediscovering people I used to follow on Twitter and G+.

I came as a refugee, and now I've found a home here. You can too!

I've gained 6kg since the dog passed in June last year, so it is time to take action.

Snurre the Cat appears to meditate on life, scritches, treats, and bloody murder.

So, this is today's outdoors. I am not impressed. It looks exactly like yesterday. I expected improvement.

How to watch an eclipse without risking your eyesight.

All you need is something with a little hole in it, and a surface to watch the shadow on :)
