@brianhartgen I thought similarly to begin with, but the diminution of the content of the quality of my Twitter timeline (which is now largely automated posts for me), combined with the vastly wider engagement I've seen on Mastodon is changing my mind.
With road surface temperatures predicted to fall to a minimum of -1.1°C tonight with a risk of hoar frost, our gritting teams will be out from 6:30pm - please stay safe on the roads

@brianhartgen there's also Wildebeest, if you want to go it solo. There are so, so many small instances at the moment, though, I can't justify the effort personally-speaking. Be glad to co-admin or set up for clients, naturally but ... https://t.co/7S43FLeDCT
@barkingbabs1971 its odd, my twitter is slowly becoming automated posts from news sources and techy blogs, whereas my mastodon is growing into a place for discussion, humour, creativity and reflection.
@brianw2013 I wondered that myself,but honestly, particularly the metatext app feels very much like twiterific used to. it's not so much the inaccessibility that made me look into mastodon but the number of people who'd moved.
@twynn92 I wondered how much of a mouthful everything would be. I type https://t.co/HBS7yummtV between 5 and 50 times daily at work and used to have to type https://t.co/KzWElOvRnR instead. Bleh.
