      what’s impressive is that they still do have many hundreds of costly engineers and their site is now shit. Mastodon on the other end is working pretty well, being administrated by a bunch of volunteer sysadmins. i like this 😇

      Wait a second. I was told that those people were all just grifters who did nothing, and that the platform would be rock-solid even without them. Do you mean to say that… that I’ve been told wrong?

    Funny, Mastodon has been working fine for me. I liked it so much, I jumped feet first into Lemmy when Reddit started to enshitify.

    I have since deactivated my account, but i still will occasionally click on the Twitter link on desktop. That site loads sooooooo slow these days. It’s really disheartening to see so many people refuse to let go of birdsite.

      With Twitter, you follow people. On Reddit you follow topics. As long as the best topics are discussed, Lemmy is a viable alternative. But Mastodon needs specific people you want to follow to move over.

        Mastodon actually lets you follow hashtags, which is a nice compromise, but it definitely isn’t curated so you gotta pick which hashtags you follow kinda carefully.

    Crazy how shit breaks if all the three devs remaining are forced to work on new shit that they absolutely do not want to work on because they see how useless and irrelevant it is.

    I really wish bluesky would open up their registration. The issue is many high level OSINT accounts are still on twitter. Mastodon has the issue of which server to sign up for which it makes harder for big names to join.
