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 Agree (although I personally would still fault those who should know better, particularly activists/journalists who cover the far right).
I feel desperately sad for those others who feel they can't lose their community but now seem to spend all their days on there being tortured by the disgusting bullying and baiting the extremists Musk let back on are continually spewing (particularly Glinn3r), and still urging people to report them as if that will achieve anything any more.
