Well #twitter is now unusable. I was following around 50 accounts and only viewing their posts, but somehow I still quickly hit the rate limit.
One gap this leaves for me is that I was following local #government accounts for safety/travel/etc updates. Hopefully they'll all start embracing mastodon now.

How many local governments do you have?
You could probably just sign up at their websites for email updates.
@Pat sure, and I have for at least a couple of those. But the content in email is much more curated and less real-time than their Twitter posts. It's not the end of the world to lose that, but it's also not zero value lost.
@Pat I follow a few accounts like that: city, county, fire department, school district
