@brianhartgen I thought similarly to begin with, but the diminution of the content of the quality of my Twitter timeline (which is now largely automated posts for me), combined with the vastly wider engagement I've seen on Mastodon is changing my mind.
Well, unintentional it may be, but I'm grateful to @TwitterDev for giving specialist clients using the API a few extra days. I would give up using every other social media platform to have Twitter stay the way it is.
With road surface temperatures predicted to fall to a minimum of -1.1°C tonight with a risk of hoar frost, our gritting teams will be out from 6:30pm - please stay safe on the roads

@brianhartgen there's also Wildebeest, if you want to go it solo. There are so, so many small instances at the moment, though, I can't justify the effort personally-speaking. Be glad to co-admin or set up for clients, naturally but ... blog.cloudflare.com/welcome-to-wil…
@barkingbabs1971 its odd, my twitter is slowly becoming automated posts from news sources and techy blogs, whereas my mastodon is growing into a place for discussion, humour, creativity and reflection.
@brianw2013 I wondered that myself,but honestly, particularly the metatext app feels very much like twiterific used to. it's not so much the inaccessibility that made me look into mastodon but the number of people who'd moved.
@cachondo Me, I don't find Twitter particularly inaccessible. The description of mastodon I heard sounds to be too complicated for me. I like things simple and straightforward.
@twynn92 I wondered how much of a mouthful everything would be. I type ncw.co.uk between 5 and 50 times daily at work and used to have to type newcollegeworcester.org.uk instead. Bleh.
@cachondo I really must check that out to see what the experience is like. Can you filter out certain content at all do you know? I don't think Tweesecake gives you that and I really do need to do it.
