Today marks one year since I walked away from 360,000 followers on that other site and joined this incredible community here!

That was easily one of the most positive moves I've ever made, and I frankly haven't looked back. Thank you to @jerry and everyone else who keeps this place humming. Come to think of it, it's time to renew our annual support!

Thank you for being open for a change, and picking what looked best to you. Glad to hear you consider it a change for the better, and happy I can follow you here.

@briankrebs about a year for me, too: 1/10th the followers and 0% regret!

@mnb @briankrebs it comes in waves to be sure, but it’s mostly when something wild happens over there or we hit an anniversary, like Brian is mentioning. This month marks one year for probably half the people active on the fediverse, so probably a lot more to come.

One thing that is frustrating is that when it was Twitter, filtering was a lot easier, but many posts still include the word - so my best advice is to set up some filters. They work quite well.

@jerry @mnb @briankrebs With 0 people you’re following you’ll get a skewed view of Mastodon too. It’s shaped much more than Twexxer by your follows. Twitter is algorithmically customized but a lot of people see nearly the same thing. Mastodon is personally curated and experiences are highly heterogeneous.

@glennf @jerry @mnb @briankrebs it’s also a time of retrospection given its roughly a year since Elon showed up over there.l and drove users away.

@briankrebs @jerry I don't miss the constant arguing, insulting and gaslightning.

I also don't miss Mrs. Smith, Hair stylist talking about how Covid vaccines spread turbo-cancer, because Mr. Braindead, her Sisters cousins colleague from work at McDonald's said so.

I don't have any remorse emptying the old account and leave it there to rot.

And I bet, you still have those followers. Just not all of them have a mastodon account. Which you don't need since Mastodon isn't blocking content and ask you to please create an account.
