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 same. I had a good network of colleagues on there who seemed interested in my posts and interacted a lot with it. That is now gone, unfortunately, until that moment when they decide to move. LinkedIn seems to be a bit of an alternative to them but to me, it’s another walled clickbait garden full of ads.
