It’s not really a situation where you can look for alternatives. Either the friends/celebrities/politicians/comedians/brands/etc you like are there or not. It’s gotten significantly worse, but Twitter is still the only place you can go to search for something that’s happening in realtime. Other alternatives have been able to create small niches, but X is the only one with a global scale.
(That being said, yes, I agree that Elon is doing everything he can to ruin that)

- camdenlock 3y agoThis right here is why the Mastodon userbase is so unappealing to so many of us. Ridiculous extremist thinking.
- rglullis 3y agoUnless you expect to interact with celebrities/politicians/comedians/brands, you can follow them just fine from the numerous twitter mirrors. What's left are your friends, and for those I had a mixed strategy: help them set up accounts on Mastodon and still follow their twitter mirror. The ones that stayed on Mastodon, I can interact directly. The ones that dropped out, I follow their mirror and I ping them on im/email/phone when something they posted is a good hook for a conversation.
