I honestly have a lot of empathy for people who are having trouble letting go of Twitter because they used to be popular, or very engaged, there. I made amazing relationships there, and there was a time when I really loved the feedback loop I had. (I didn’t care that much about being “known”, but I valued the access it gave me.) It’ll be years before the fediverse reaches its own equivalent strengths, and I don’t fault anyone for struggling to transition from a familiar (if failing) platform.
@anildash I’m not struggling…I’m still on Twitter for the exact same strategic reasons that I’ve had and honesty, my experience hasn’t changed much, beyond the increase in spam DMs
I’d really love if folx, many of whom had NEVER been the targets of the harm many of us experience on ALL social media platforms, including MASTODON, would stop “shaming” folx for their choice to stay and focus on making social over a better experience for ALL
