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 It is so true. I felt a loss of identity leaving Twitter. And I'm not sure I manage to become one again in the Fediverse. Especially I miss the special community of educators discussion pedagogy under the hashtag #skolechat - but also the vast interdiciplinary discussion of politics, ethics and philosophy. Bring back my community, please! #feelinglostinthefediverse
