@Gargron it's still kinda clunky but oh twitter is doomed

@Gargron I've joined the Server already in 2018, but never really spent time and attention to Mastodon. Less people I knew and didn't find helping hands like today with #neuhier. Now I'm very happy to be part of it! Thank you @Gargron

@Gargron time for an $8 patreon level? 🙃

@Gargron I always knew this day would come. More awesome peeps coming through! ✨

@Gargron what if jack dorsey want to buy mastodon?

@Gargron In fairness, this is what the internet used to be like before big tech and advertisers took it over. Think also: RSS, XMPP, IRC, etc.

@Gargron In my opinion the only solution to attract the majority of Twitter users departures is to offer account certification. I've talked to a lot of people who all say they stay on Twitter because the popular accounts they usually check are there. However, public figures are victims of identity theft at a frequency that is totally unmanageable for Mastodon instances. It is therefore necessary to be able to distinguish them from fake accounts.

@Gargron yeah, fedi is huge and will grow, destroying #birdsite
and #facebook and #youtube
at least, I hope so.
and I hope that #accessibility will inprove, because the standard web client, is too cluttered.

@Gargron I tried it out several times over the years and it just never stuck. I’m going to give a real gonthis time around.

@Gargron Well a post with 2k+ interactions says a lot. Congrats btw

@Gargron completely new to this platform. Looking for Socialist/ left political community

@Gargron fr, i can agree with you here, alot of people realizing that social media sucks and that they censor people for no reason, they can just do anything they want to users just like youtube does, they demontize creators for no reason. Its good to see people switching to a decentralized platform like mastodon. Im really happy about it.

@Gargron On Point!

@Gargron
It could ALWAYS be done differently. Just think how many different social media pages have been and gone since the internet began

@Gargron so true ❣️

@Gargron I'd been looking for something similar on-and-off for years. I've been troubled by corporate models of social media all along. Recent events motivated me to finally start using Mastodon as my main venue.

@Gargron thank you for your work! 💓

@Gargron looking forward to learning how to navigate what you’ve built.

@Gargron I'm really intrigued having just arrived. It brings back my memories of the old world-wide-web, when it was pockets of intresting eccentrics, rather than the firehose of consensus.

@Gargron I discovered it years ago. It's a coincidence that I'm coming back at a time when so many Twitter orphans are arriving. Great job!
