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 recently launched Delete Twitter, https://deletetwitter.com
It is so tough getting the messaging right, particularly considering your empathetic viewpoint, which I share.
Thank you, the replies to this are very informative as well!
