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 think a lot of folks on social media suffer from a lack of curation of their feeds. Muting tags, keywords, judicious use of block & mute has kept my TL on Twitter drama free, & honestly, I keep that the same no matter the platform.
I've a circle of friends who I met on Twitter that, really, no amount of harping is going to draw me away from. So all the negativity I see on Mastodon directed at Twitter users really only serves to make me feel negative...towards those Mastodon users.
