I’ve been on Twitter since 2009 and I can’t believe I am considering permanently deleting my account. It is my favorite place online. I am trying to hang on as long as I can but it is such a dumpster fire over there right now. 😂
@asongforxx I’m only there for some very local news updates that for now is only source. Once they’re gone that’s the end of the line for me. Found a new home and people.
@TwitterExpat That is great! I have tried this app, Planetary, and Mastodon. I would have to say that this one is by far the best alternative and closest to the feel of Twitter but I feel completely lost and don’t know where to start. Mastodon is terrible but it seems like most people are migrating there. Planetary is unique and pretty but confusing. Lol.
@asongforxx it takes some getting used to. I’m just now figuring out which hashtags interest me and pinning those on the web version. The app on my phone is limited but easy to navigate while passing time. It’s a different mindset. Eventually you’ll tailor it to just what your interests are. Didn’t happen for me overnight.
@TwitterExpat That sounds really nice. I hadn’t even thought about accessing it on my computer. I would probably just mostly use it from my iPhone (as I am now) or my iPad. I’m excited to get it customized.
@asongforxx cool! A trick I read somewhere for the phone app is pin a post to your page with hashtags that interest you. They are easily accessible on your phone. Have not done that as I’m 50/50 phone and iPad. There’s a ton of people out there to help. Post a question and you’ll get someone to help out.
@TwitterExpat Awesome. That is the type of community I hoped to be a part of. Let’s pray this app / site doesn’t get ruined. Lol. The pinned post is such a good idea. I might have to play around with that and some of the other settings.
@asongforxx push all buttons you want….they’ll make more🤣🤣
@TwitterExpat Fair enough. I have to learn all the ins and outs, so I can feel more confident leaving Twitter. 😂
@asongforxx look at you cracking wise……”leaving Twitter” more like they’re showing us the door.
@TwitterExpat LOL. So true. We are like the wildlife fleeing the burning forest. 😭
@asongforxx well said. It was long over due on my part.
@TwitterExpat I’m still clinging on for dear life. It is sad but I am sure Edgelord Elon will ruin it beyond repair and I’ll eventually make my exit.
@asongforxx no rules about enjoying both places. While it still has a heartbeat 💗
