It's shit like this that makes me wish people would switch to Mastodon, but it won't happen because the "big names" aren't on there. Wil Wheaton tried, but got bombarded with an endless slew of "Shut the fuck up Wesley" until he quit. The cynic in me thinks this could have been a coordinated effort by Twitter to try to keep people from leaving for greener pastures, but that's probably just my tinfoil hat showing.
- bilbo0s 5y agoYou don't need a conspiracy if your success relies only on people on the internet being scumbags. Unfortunate reality is that you'll always win taking that side of the bet.

There are servers of all kinds, here are some listed on their site: General (41) Regional (29) Art (7) Music (2) Journalism (1) Activism (7) LGBTQ+ (7) Gaming (5) Technology (15) Furry (3) Food (2)
