I have not been able to bring myself to quit the bird app, and it feels like cheating to just post everything here and there, so I'm at a bit of a loss how to proceed here. In any case, I finally finished my summary video of the recent 2023-2032 Planetary Science & Astrobiology Decadal Survey! There's a lot to get into, so take a look! https://youtu.be/XxKQBbR6LrQ
@norasguidetothegalaxy I just post everything in both places. There are too many people I follow who are only on the bird site, but I want to help nurture Mastodon.
@dgoldsmith Okay that makes me feel better. May just plan to do that at least for now!
@norasguidetothegalaxy my plan is to mirror posts from here to Twitter. And call that a day? 💔
Sorting out how to make it all comfortable.
@norasguidetothegalaxy I'm glad you give the Fediverse a chance though! Could post to both, or use a crossposter where you post here and it auto-posts to there.
@norasguidetothegalaxy I suppose the question of whether or not to quit twitter depends on your reason for using it. If it's self promotion or wanting to follow famous people, it's likely worth dealing with the crap that goes with twitter. I like Mastodon because it's less noisy, less hateful (usually), way more private, and I find the folks here more interesting, by and large. But, I don't care about self promotion or famous people :-) I can see room for both in some people's lives. One is like eating fast food and the other is something a bit more healthy. I dunno :-)
@norasguidetothegalaxy my only advice would be to not feel forced to do anything here, just post if you feel like it and whenever you feel like it. If you feel like Twitter meets your needs better, then you don't have to quit either.
