💬 50,000 tweets and rising
There’s no replacement, no successor. I have tried Mastodon, and the results are not inducing me to switch. The level of engagement I experience is far lower than what I see on Twitter. It may be that I’ve found the wrong instance, or that it’ll take more time for me to build up a network there – and I’m still trying. But for now, Twitter remains superior for my needs. Yammer: I’m not part of any group using that right now.
I really enjoyed reading your reflection on why you use Twitter. I remember doing a personal Twitter tour a couple of years ago. What is interesting is how my view of the platform has changed. The one thing that keeps me coming back is that there is no clear replacement. I too have tried spaces like Mastadon and Micro.Blog, but in the end Twitter is where the community is.
