@Adam_Howard Kudos! Thank you for transparently stating this all!
I left Twitter before Voldemort took it over and honestly it boggles my mind why people are still there.
It used to be great to see live time updates but i started to see people just being unkind and thanks to fedi, i am here in this space.
The Fediverse is not prefect. It, too, has its flaws.
But when I left Twitter, I had over a million followers. I left Twitter when I joined the Fediverse, May 30, 2023.
Both have their pros and cons.
@Adam_Howard oh yes nothing is perfect but i still feel this is healthier than X.
The million followers, could you have migrated them here, are they re-finding you again...
They did follow me here. I originally had 12,000 followers as the users, Linux-Is-Best. But moving between Fedi sites means I lost a few along the way, and even had to start over.
As I said, both have their pros and cons.
@Adam_Howard ok
well i moved here on feb 2, 2023 and there were no pros (for being on X)
i have no BIG following or care for a following so to me it was all PRO to be on FEDI and all CON to stay on X
and now we are here, thanks for sharing
Some people are okay shouting into the void and don’t care whether anyone engages or not.
I’m not one of those people. If I didn’t care about being heard, I wouldn’t be online. I want engagement and to know that I’m being heard. It’s not so much about having followers, but about experiencing interaction (like we are now). The more interaction, the better.
With a million followers, or even 12,000 followers, that was a significant PRO. Lacking that, would be a CON.
@Adam_Howard oh yeah i totally get it. I too like connecting and conversation.
