Discussion: Do you think recent Twitter mess up will cause new wave of #TwitterMigration?
I honestly think it sure will. People will probably go in 3 directions:
- Mastodon
- Wait for Bluesky
- Wait for Instagram "Threads"
Honestly, if people go fediverse way, they definitely should choose something like Misskey/Calckey. They're much better options than mastodon IMO

The problem with Mastodon is that they don’t have very many major entities actively making posts. The main thing I track on twitter is OSINT and US politics, and that community basically doesn’t exist on Mastodon right now
What you call a problem I call a relief. I'm tired of the cult of celebrity that corporate social media foists.
To each their own. I’m glad you enjoy mastodon
Indeed. That's one of the gratifying things about the deaths of all the billionaire-owned sites. It's giving room to breathe for those of us who don't want their vision of a future of humanity on their knees before them servicing them.
I follow some major news sources on Mastodon (Reuters, NYT, WaPo, Guardian, and more). Im in NYC so I also follow transit alerts, one of the main reasons I had previously used Twitter.
That explains why it feels so empty, I can't find any actual content on Mastodon despite how huge it supposedly is compared to Kbin and Lemmy
It takes a while to get it going. I go to the full federation feed and follow different users that I discover there, and also sometimes people that they follow.. And I also follow some big news sources like Reuters. Eventually my followed feed has built up - it's almost too many posts.
