When I stopped being active at Twitter, I had more than 45,000 followers and a moderate amount of engagement (replies, retweets, etc.).

I have a third fewer followers here, and at least 10 times the genuine engagement. Sure, some bots, but most of it is genuine -- and useful.

I no longer see what (some) people I respect are saying publicly. I miss their thoughts, and wish they'd recognize that by staying active there they are supporting a dangerous extremist.

They feel trapped. They're not.

Hi Dan,

I only hooked up with Mastodon today. Still trying to get to grips with it all. New stuff always difficult when you are in your 70's. Read your piece on leaving Twitter and the danger Musk poses at the moment in the USA, by getting into bed with the monster that is Trump,

Best Regards,

Sami.
