I tweeted (to in theory 10,000 people) about how being on #Twitter is now directly funding people like Andrew Tate.
It has no likes. Why don’t people like being told they are bad and should feel bad. So strange. 🤷♂️🤔
I think people should stop cross-posting there. I see people in my #Twitter feed who are getting as much or more engagement here. Time to cut Twitter off.

@john i thi k crossposting helps because then those on twitter are surroubded by annoying crossposts where they get no replies... encourages people to follow you here
@freemo maybe… it’s hard to know. I don’t like the even the illusion that people are still there though.
My current strategy is to only post there when there’s some sort of Musk-induced crisis, and remind people Mastodon doesn’t have that problem.
However, it seems like Twitter’s started to downrank such things into oblivion. Ho-hum. My reading of the situation is that Twitter really has collapsed, and we probably don’t need to keep poking it.
@john I would have said that threads and similar adopting AP would be a good way to get off things like twitter and let that be the bridge that fascilitates the move.
But of course in the usual short sightedness of the fedi everyone has decided they will block any such attempts.. so with that being the case I'd say we are left needing to keep our cross-posters there as the bridge.
@john That I dont know.. I hope you are right and its a small minority.
@freemo I have no problem with servers defedding Threads, it seems like a good move for some. I don’t like the “we’ll defed you for not defedding” movement, it’s coercive and against the strengths of federation.
@freemo @john I have this vague sense of discomfort about Mastodon because of the extensive culture of defederating/blocking/banning on some major instances. It will be interesting to see how/if it plays out. e.g. think how impoverished we'd be here on qoto without any sauropod updates. #patchyverse
@freemo what percentage (in terms of accounts) is really going to defed? I though mastodon.social is federating… and more importantly sauropods.win.
