After a few days here I'm really happy with my decision.
It feels a much more supportive and encouraging place. It also feels less passive, as if we're shaping our own community not having it moulded by algorithms or owners.
My original intention was to leave my X account with a link here but I think even doing that means some form of accommodation with the platform and what it stands for. So I went on today to deactivate.
I'm so glad there's an alternative with a very different ethos.
