    Mastodon is better anyway. I deleted Twitter ages ago when Musk took over. It’s amazing how many people have stayed there despite how much he’s shit all over the userbase. He makes Spez look like a saint.

      Mastodon might be “better” but it’s in a completely different league if it’s missing 99% people I actually care about following on twitter. On mastodon the feed is just random people talking about their personal stuff and misusing hashtags, and usually when you bring this up the answer is “well duh, mastodon is not supposed to be twitter, it is its own thing”.

        Agreed. There’s a lot mixed messaging from the userbase where we’re recommended to switch to Mastodon from Twitter but also respect that Mastodon is not supposed to be a Twitter replacement.

          Yea tbh i respect it, ive been off twitter for like a year it was just nsfw posting anyway. but people are like “switch from that thing to this thing” then like “why did u expect this thing to be like that thing?!” like ??? Bc u claimed it was an alternative? So no wasnt expecting something so different. Would u expect a sugar alternative NOT to be sweet? If u bought a sugar alternative and it was just straight up salty youd be pretty surpised no? Ya it might not taste exactly like sugar but is pretty close and can be used the same way usually. Thats what makes it an alternative not just something else. I dont mind much tho bc like I said i wasnt even that active on twitter and it was just for posting nsfw not really following ppl or stuff.
