@rauschma FWIW, I migrated here from Facebook and Instagram. I had a Twitter account but never used it because i found the word limit too limiting. I deleted my Twitter account shortly after it became X. I did not find the transition to Mastodon difficult at all. That being said, when the instance I joined imploded, I found packing up my bags and moving to another instance to be a pain in the ass.
I do not like how blocking someone does not remove their posts from my account. I've seen trolls telling unhoused people in crisis to go kill themselves, and I don't see any way people can keep themselves safe from this abuse.
@Shanmonster Better reply management is *very* important and still a major downside here. It can be fixed, but progress is slow & funds are limited. 🥲
