X terms of service has right to take back username. X ported his followers over to new account at least, he said. Vaught is still using X, though he did set up account on Threads and Mastodon.

    Almost none of the people I follow on Twitter are on Mastodon and almost none of the people that follow me are there either. I’m not on Twitter because of the platform. I’m there because of the people on that platform. My strictly curated feed haven’t changed during the past few years no matter how hard people here are trying to convince me that Twitter has gone to shit. Maybe for you it has but I can’t relate. What ever Elon is doing happens in a corner of Twitter I’m not spending my time on.

    It’s also the only platform where I’ve managed to grow any kind of following. It’s much nicer posting my content somewhere people actually see it unlike on places like Instagram which is just shouting into the void. The only change I’ve made is switch from the Flamingo app to browser because they killed 3rd party apps just like reddit.

      Two things I‘m gonna fix for ya:

      • All the people you know on twitter are also on mastodon. Double negatives are dumb.
      • They came first for the communists… is your approach. Has been tried, don’t recommend.

      Good luck

          Almost none of the people I follow on Twitter aren’t on Mastodon and almost none of the people that follow me aren’t there either.

          In that case it’s your own fault.

          You mean „none of the people are on mastodon“ not „aren‘t“.

      It honestly sounds like you’ve found a niche where Elon hasn’t looked yet. Congratulations.

      If Twitter is a better platform for you, why bother with the fediverse?
