    That’s a big nope from me lmao. Mastadon seems to have alot of the important accounts I follow from Twitter. Liking it so far, no algorithm playing with your feed, no corporate advertising (unless you subscribe to it), no blue checks spreading insane conspiracies.

      I’d love for this to be true for me (if only to use ivory) but the only things I manage to find are mirrored Twitter accounts, which I assume aren’t forever.

      Did you just manually look for the things you cared about?

        Yes. I’ve searched manually for most of mine based on my people i follow on Twitter, they are not all there, and they will be missed. I’ve got a few mirrored accounts I’m following, but it’s not the end of the world if they get cut off from the blue bird (they are mostly sports team feeds). I have also gone back to RSS feeds for my news feed. I like the social aspect of Twitter, it’s just turned into a hate platform that scientifically exploits its users by making it addicting to doom scroll. And the interactions I’ve had on Mastadon/Lemmy are way more wholesome than there, fediverse really does remind me of the early days of Digg/Reddit/Twitter.

          Makes sense. I mostly used Twitter as a news aggregator, as yeah, people are often too toxic on there (though there are some funny people I miss seeing).

          I wrote my previous response then realized maybe I should just use rss again. Thank you!
