@MishaVanMollusq @mekkaokereke Do you mean me personally?

If that was my big concern, I would have been on X or Instagram these past 2+ years instead of here.

It's more that I'm disappointed that many people who I respect, some of whom were regular Mastodon users for a very long time, have recently stopped posting here.

They're now on BlueSky.

There was a real opportunity with Twitter imploding for the Fediverse to fill that void.

That means decentralised, open source, non-commercial social media based on open standards could have been the standard.

That window of opportunity is now nearly closed.

And honestly, I feel disappointed that's the case.

I think there is an opportunity for Mastodon to be the place for slower, more thoughtful, longer form conversations with a stronger community.

And maybe that's what Mastodon was better suited to all along?
