On July 2, 2023, Benjamin Partridge posted on Twitter: Don’t give in to Mastodon. It’s got a very weird vibe. Everyone on there is very pleased with themselves. Hold the line. Eyes forward, salute the sky and sink beneath the waves! I will tweet from the grave!

   Comedy is as important to my mental health as antidepressants. Using Twitter is untenable, so I’m now looking to Bluesky. Of course there are funny people and posts on Mastodon, but that’s not its strength. This Twitter post from one of my favourite comedians, Benjamin Partridge, still haunts me. It was the moment I realised Mastodon was unlikely to become what I’d hoped, at least in the short term.
