so.... is *this* the wave you are finally going to catch to surf on out of here?
(I only come here now when I see a new wave in the #Fediverse numbers...)
There's so much more than #Mastodon now, too. Big part of my feed coming from one former Reddit sub on Lemmy/kbin 😉 #Xit
Probably the best and most compelling post I've seen about why #Mastodon is the place to be - from a witty sex blogger, with some absolutely charming turns of phrase.

We're still over at Mastodon, generally having a great time, avoiding being pawns and funding fascists. You might think if you aren't paying here if you aren't a blue check - but you're still paying with your engagement.
For the first (and likely last) time, I'm posting a toot from Mastodon on Twitter, instead of the inverse, b/c it highlights a growing problem. Giving content to this site puts $$$ in the pockets of neo-Nazis. Staying here is a choice w/ consequences. https://t.co/Ne3nTZ8amo

It should be pretty clear by now: whether you want to or not, you have to find a new bar.
I'm loving how I can now follow & post from "Twitter" to threads on "Reddit" 😉

.... why are you still here?
You are now complicit. This is active acceptance of the agenda to erase trans people.
Enough.
Leave.
It will hurt, but it will be so much better for your mental health to break free of this now terrible place.
@JamesEsses Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions.
The words “cis” or “cisgender” are considered slurs on this platform.

Your semi-regular reminder that your continued eyeballs here are helping to keep racism and homophobia in business.
#Mastodon is still going strong: come join us!
Und enttäuschend auch, dass ich auf Twitter quasi allein gezwitschert habe. Nächstes Jahr dann wohl doch auf Mastodon tröten?!
😑

I understand you are struggling to leave. But just know there are good people slowly helping the Fediverse grow as Twitter dies. We haven't stopped sharing and being social - and we look forward to you joining us when you are ready!
your approximately monthly reminder (to fewer and fewer active people here I see.. 🤔) that you don't need to be here to connect with more people who matter. Mastodon is rapidly approaching 10 million accounts... it's livelier than ever 😊
@BrentHodgson @TeacherMelb Feel free to ask me questions on Mastodon! I only check in here once a month or so to remind people I no longer interact here and you don't need to keep company with fascists.
Will *this* be your "I'm done" moment?
You don't have to be here. Fedi is getting bigger and bigger, and many very old Netizens I respect have thoroughly made a home there. DM if you need some guidance (though I don't get alerts from Twitter anymore so it might take a minute)
Elon Musk is at the Super Bowl with Rupert Murdoch. Two non-American right wing billionaires who use their money and power to help fascists win elections.

This is a great article - for those who have largely left already, but are checking in occasionally, this really drives home the importance of making sure your departure is not invisible.
Your occasional reminder that I'm posting regularly on Mastodon, and by staying on Twitter you're hurting society & yourself. Take a deep breath, & give the Fediverse a chance. No, it's not the same, & not everyone is there yet. But many are. Join us!

I'm maintaining this account to remind folks an alternative DOES exist. When people moved from LiveJournal to Facebook they didn't stop LJ point blank, but there were constant reminders that people were elsewhere. But this time, it's not paid for by surveillance capitalists.
If you consider yourself /an ally to LGBTQ+ &/or you support science, at this stage staying on Twitter is now BLATANTLY supporting harm to that which you claim to hold dear. You cannot win by staying to fight. You can only win by leaving and turning Twitter into MySpace.
so... I know when a new low is occurring at Twitter when the Mastodon new user count suddenly spikes. In the last few hours it has completely blown past all previous hourly records... time to get your lifeboat ready, if you haven't yet. The Fediverse is holding up ok so far...
