   I honestly have a lot of empathy for people who are having trouble letting go of Twitter because they used to be popular, or very engaged, there. I made amazing relationships there, and there was a time when I really loved the feedback loop I had. (I didn’t care that much about being “known”, but I valued the access it gave me.) It’ll be years before the fediverse reaches its own equivalent strengths, and I don’t fault anyone for struggling to transition from a familiar (if failing) platform.

     @anildash that’s kinda where I am right now. Mourning the platform I’ve been on for years and the relationships and community curated there, but excited to build elsewhere and strike out on my own again. Remember personal websites? Remember how we used to get news before social media? The user experience was so different.

     @anildash same. I had a good network of colleagues on there who seemed interested in my posts and interacted a lot with it. That is now gone, unfortunately, until that moment when they decide to move. LinkedIn seems to be a bit of an alternative to them but to me, it’s another walled clickbait garden full of ads.
