It’s not necessarily so easy, there aren’t substitutes for a lot of the communities on twitter. Though I did just get into Bluesky the other day and am already spending more time in there than on twitter.
Mastodon has been working really well for me once I followed people. Connect well with Lemmy as well which I like. Hopefully more “official” accounts come in.
I’ve been in Mastodon for a few months and Bluesky for a few days, and Bluesky just blows it out of the water as a twitter replacement. Easier technically, a lot more of the people I follow are on there, people are easier to find, and most importantly the algorithm encourages rather than discourages engagement.
I find there’s no “discouraging”. Rather it’s just posts. The “engagement” aspect of Twitter and modern social media is imo the one thing that’s most important to leave behind. It’s not healthy.
Stop using the platform, if you insist on continuing to use it, you deserve the shit show you are getting. End of story.
The whole fiasco motivated me to create mastodon account. The crazy thing is that I never used Twitter.
Also I don’t get why people are complaining that mastodon is difficult. It seems to me is quite simple, or am I missing something?
They probably struggle to follow accounts from different instances, but it’s really not any harder than an email address.
