   I gave up over a 150,000 followers on Twitter to be on Mastodon full time. Yes, the engagement and reach is a lot less, but I'll build it back up and it will be worth it. I hate to see people run back to Twitter because of friends or careers or whatever. You know what changes that? Being on Mastodon and bring those people here. Musk is a horrible person, don't be one of his enablers.

     @grumpygamer There's valid reasons for using Twitter, it depends which audiences you want or need to reach and interact with.

     Twitter has a lot more diverse people on it, and many of those just don't care about the Musk drama.

     Personally though I'm with you, I don't really use Twitter anymore and found people here.

     @thomasfuchs @grumpygamer I used to believe this, but then twitter changed its hateful conduct policy to remove protections for its transgender users.

     I'm sorry, I know many users simply don't care for the drama and generally I have a live and let live attitude. But at this point, no. If you are actively using Twitter you are part of the problem.

     If Twitter restores the protections, then OK fine.
