If there was one piece of advice I could give to new Mastodon users who are finding their feeds quiet or boring, it is to follow as many people and hashtags as you can. This is not Twitter; there is no algorithm, it is not going to fill your feed with stuff it thinks you like. You have to curate it yourself. Once you do, though, it's so much more vibrant and rewarding than Twitter has been for a year. #TwitterMigration #Twitter
“I’m going to stay and fight”
No you’re not. It isn’t a battleground. It is owned by one man who will do what he likes as long as he can and he’s able to continue to do so because you are creating statistics he is using to sell ad space and make it look like the platform is more active than ever.
You are enabling him, even with your “fighting.” Wake up. That’s what he wants. It HELPS him. You’re literally working for the man free of charge. #birdsite #twitter #TwitterMigration
It’s a clown show. #Twitter #TwitterMigration #ElonMusk
I can’t help but feel deep disappointment in people I used to love following who haven’t stopped using Twitter. Especially given the fact that engagement here is a thousand times better than the dead bird has been for years.
As a mom to a teenager today, I have made it clear to my son that he is welcome to live here for as long as he needs. As an adult, he can stay here, help out with the bills and save the rest of his money as long as it takes to make sure he starts out on his own financially secure. I don't have money to give him, but I can at least do that for him.
People who publicly own their mistakes and learn from them are hotter than all the gym bros in Canada combined.
Dude at the pool after introducing himself: you don’t look like your IG profile pic.
Me, adjusting my neon pink swim cap and blue goggles: what??? Did I forget to curl my hair and put on red lipstick before I hopped in the pool AGAIN??
