@gamingonlinux what is the logic in staying? When it was open to the public maybe, but now that it's clearly a private space with rate limiting and an echo chamber, why stay?

[Serious]

For the people asking why stay on it: the simple fact is most gaming news still drops there first. I enjoy Mastodon but itโ€™s not enough just yet. I also wonโ€™t be putting all my eggs in one social basket. And Mastodon certainly has itโ€™s own set of issues.

One thing that may be helpful is following Twitter accounts via bird.makeup it actually still works for now in spite of the Twitter schenanigans. Just an option, not saying you necessarily have to take it.

@gamingonlinux Happy you bring news on Mastodon, I don't care what other social media networks you use.
I agree Mastodon is great, but there is always room for improvement. No need to be an extremist in the one or other way

@gamingonlinux Twitter has been out there since 2006, and basically everyone is on it. Mastodon became popular recently, and even though there was a migration from Twitter, it had zero impact on the overall news. Mastodon and ActivityPub are the future. We just aren't on it yet.

@gamingonlinux people on both sites is the bridge that helps decentralized social media grow.

@gamingonlinux thankful we can still get your updates from here. Honestly one of the gaming sites I read the most. At least I know I can still see your new stuff via here ๐Ÿ‘

@gamingonlinux This is confusing to me when most people can't see your posts there anymore anyway, even intentionally. It's up to you ultimately but I fail to see this as a valid reason with the rate limit restriction

@gamingonlinux personally getting feedback on masto is miles ahead but news access must get better too. I think once Console and Tech manufacturers come to masto or other alternatives burd app will become irrelevant.

@gamingonlinux thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m excited for Instagram Threads. Even though itโ€™s Meta.. I just dislike Elon/Twitter more

@gamingonlinux this is the major issue for me. There just isn't enough traction yet. I do hope it increases as these centralised platforms continue to abuse their power.

I don't know what it will take for people to understand the utter stupidity of depending on a handful of central platforms for global digital communication.

To me multi-platform is the only solution, spread those eggs.
