   Well, looks like I'm back on Mastodon.

     @Dreamwieber and as you point out, Bluesky is struggling with the increased load

     @TedUnderwood yea, as heavy handed as this is I feel like I might actually pony-up 😂

     It's making me realize that when a big event happens — a wildfire, an election, whatever — there's still really just one place that can handle the load.

     Maybe I just haven't figured this site out though?

     @Dreamwieber I find Mastodon works smoothly — at least on my server. The main problem for me here is that the tech industry is not here. So there's a limit to what I can learn here.

     @TedUnderwood the machinery is running smoothly. And, I'm making an honest attempt to appreciate it for what it is.

     What I miss is the real time nature of Twitter, and the feeling that I can follow an unfolding event in all its vibrant messy glory.

     @Dreamwieber Yeah, I think that's a combination of fewer people here / less diversity and no algorithmic feed. That's why I'm betting on Bluesky or Threads over the long term. You've got to have the algorithmic feed.

     @TedUnderwood TikTok — just not as visible among our age demo.

     @Transportist @Dreamwieber Ah, that's promising. Of course, when I say "tech" what I really mean is ML. On that topic, I definitely miss out if I'm not listening to Twitter.

     @TedUnderwood @Dreamwieber all the Apple tech people are here now. This place was lit during WWDC.
