  I know Imani Gandy is now posting on mastodon. She had an enormous following on Twitter.

    Yeah it really actually only takes a couple of big users moving to Mastodon to cause a domino effect of a mass migration. I hope more people with tons of followers start moving over.

      The problem is that people won’t move until their audience there and their audience won’t move until they are there.

      And mastodon is a bit less straightforward compared to old Twitter.

        Mastodon is also somewhat hostile towards new users. Significant swaths of it treat this shared public network as a small private chatroom, and get cranky when September stretches on too long.

        Yeah, but some people are more willing to move onto a smaller platform. Like us. In practice, as long as one more person becomes willing per person who makes the change it works out to compounding percentage growth, which is good because the internet itself would never have taken off otherwise.

  Does Mastodon have the blocking features that Bluesky has (like lists, blocks stopping quote reply chains, etc)?

  Other than on Blahaj, I’ve never found a place more chill to be queer online once you apply a couple of well maintained block lists.

    If you need the feature set of Bluesky and Mastodon, please also follow fed.brid.gy if you can. This will allow Mastodon users to follow you from the Fediverse.

  If they don’t, please also follow Brid.gy so your BlueSky account is federated to Mastodon. If you move to Threads, please turn on Fediverse integration.

  It’s so frustrating, between Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads almost every person I used to follow on Twitter exists somewhere else. But only about half of them are accessible in any one platform.
