Yeah yeah. I know. Wrong choice of words. Call it a network if you like, or a federation. Whatever. I'm pretty sure you knew what I meant.

My advice to you, take it or leave it: Don't be the "well, actually" guy. Nobody likes the "well, actually" guy.

Yeah I've had a similar problem with retro gamedev stuff. Half of it is on twitter and half on Mastodon. I suspect it'll go full Mastodon in the end.

Honestly I actually like Mastodon better myself so far, doubtful as I was at the outset. I just don't think it'll get mass adoption outside of techies.

Because it's basically a site where everyone who hates Elon Musk's Twitter has flocked to. I think it's only natural that the conversation there would be about hating Elon Musk's Twitter.

I'm sure the same was (and might still be) true of Gab or Truth or any of the other splinter sites that have gained popularity with a group of angry Twitter expats in the past.
