“If you’re a Twitter diehard who’s not willing to swap to X, it might be finally time to ditch X for Mastadon or Threads. On your way out, don’t forget to delete your X account.”
Best advice in the article.
Good news! I already did, the day the moron Musk took over.
I’ve never used Twitter a lot and I’ve mostly stopped using it, but Mastodon is just not a viable alternative for most people. I used Twitter to keep up with things. I made a Mastodon account like two years ago, but almost none of the people or organisations I care about are on there. And most of the ones that are on it aren’t posting. So I’m basically never using it. The same is true for Bluesky. Threads may be better but I’d rather avoid anything from Facebook.
Well you’ll soon be able to subscribe to the big accounts on Threads, even from Mastodon, provided your server allows it.
I personally wonder if the time for this kind of microblogging hasn’t come and gone now. A lot of media on Instagram but my teenage kids don’t use Twitter, don’t want to use Twitter and don’t care about what happens to Twitter. Pry TikTok out of their hands, though…
Please call it Twitter in the title unless there’s a good reason not to. I thought this was Xorg.
it’s better to call it X this way, we need to accept twitter is never coming back, and it’s high time users still on it to migrate.
I won’t give the dbag the satisfaction of calling it anything but twitter.
“The platform formerly known as Twitter”?
It wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t the fact that he’s trying to lay claim to 1/26th of the English alphabet
I actually interpreted this as X as in X11 window system and was very confused for a bit
Same…
I hadn’t logged into my Twitter account in over a year. When I finally did recently, I simply shared a link to my Mastodon account. A few days later, I went to check a Twitter link, only to find my account had been banned…
My account was banned for some reason, no idea really. Wrote to support to unban me so I could delete it, they did and I delete the account.
So glad I left Reddit and Twitter behind, I need to get my family over to the Fediverse and off Facebook and Instagram now.
Why are people still using a site bought and run by a guy supporting the rise of Christian fascism solely for the purposes of getting tax breaks on his ill-gotten billions?
I dislike this “Elon Musk” fellow, good sir!
