With the Twitter reinstatement of the former US President who attempted to incite a fascist coup after losing an election, now would _really_ be a good time to stop cross-posting your Twitter RTs here.

If you feel that cross-posting is the only way to maintain a presence here, please consider limiting it to original posts without mentions or RTs, to avoid cluttering timelines with Twitter URLs. Thank you kindly for your consideration.

I'm still not sure if cohost is part of the fediverse, they don't advertise it anywhere when I've skimmed the landing page, and I surely won't just try to follow someone there. Odd.

Really trying to broaden my timeline but it feels kinda weird that half of the posts seem to be about the migration and the other site. Everything is very meta right now and people aren't just posting normal things.

I mean, I've not been terribly active on either platform so I managed to stay out of the huge shitstorms, but with my <150 following and followers I have a feeling I've always used it wrong (or at least not like most people) anyway. We'll see how this works out. In any case I'm really glad the traffic is picking up.

I enjoy watching folks hopping instances like they're window managers in 2002

Ugh, these new Twitter refugees are ruining the place for long-standing community members like me who have been here for ten days.

I don't want to be smug, but I've noticed nothing of the slowness :P

What I really don't like are threads where every single post is behind a "show more".

Not sure if that's a Mastodon-only thing but with people mostly being on Mastodon, it's a thing.

No instance should ever be "too big to block"

If it is "too big to block"

It should be blocked for being too big
