Unless you’ve been under a rock, you’ll be aware that poor Twitter is in chaos right now. I’ve always loved the medium and it’s been my much-favoured social medium of choice for many years now. It’s where I put most content and first.
However, we have to move with the times, and while I’m still hoping that the trouble with Twitter is going to settle down, I have taken the precaution of opening an account on Mastodon.
Mastodon is similar in concepts. You toot, not tweet. You boost rather than retweet. People so far are migrating in their droves. It’s not the same at all but has great potential.
My Mastodon account is @cbgenealogy@mastodon.ie Please do come & say hello if you’re so inclined.
I’m wondering if mastodon will ever get to the dizzy heights of twitter but so far so good. No crazies or idiots on there yet but give it time!
It will take time. Twitter didn’t get where it is today overnight.
