I’ve never used Twitter a lot and I’ve mostly stopped using it, but Mastodon is just not a viable alternative for most people. I used Twitter to keep up with things. I made a Mastodon account like two years ago, but almost none of the people or organisations I care about are on there. And most of the ones that are on it aren’t posting. So I’m basically never using it. The same is true for Bluesky. Threads may be better but I’d rather avoid anything from Facebook.
Well you’ll soon be able to subscribe to the big accounts on Threads, even from Mastodon, provided your server allows it.
I personally wonder if the time for this kind of microblogging hasn’t come and gone now. A lot of media on Instagram but my teenage kids don’t use Twitter, don’t want to use Twitter and don’t care about what happens to Twitter. Pry TikTok out of their hands, though…
