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.
