   Makes me smile warmly when I come across a new web dev expert, perhaps via a link from someone, and it goes to their Twitter/X page, but then I see they've stopped posting on X and are pointing to their Mastodon page. So I follow them on Mastodon, also knowing X doesn't get to access that person's thoughts anymore. Slowly but surely, the brains of the web dev community are shifting to the decentralized web — where of course they truly belong. #CircleOfLife #Fediverse

     On the other hand, I also scowl when I see that e.g. an open source web framework founder is still posting daily on X and ignoring Mastodon. I don't want to be judgemental, but...

     @ricmac I harbor the same resentment. But I have learned to let it go. The sea refuses no river. I'll be sure to tag the person here with an "at" if they've got an account or the proverbial 'message in the bottle': the hashtag that awaits them when they inevitably pop on.

     I'm not a webdev, but yep, absolutely. The only time I post there is about the Fediverse, and I have my Mastodon handle in my Twitter handle
