1/2 Dear World: Now is a good time to get off social media that’s becoming any combination of “less useful”, “less safe”, or “less fun”. I’ve been on Mastodon for 3 years and am convinced that right now, in late 2025, it’s the best place to go. Come join me. Here’s why.

@BBenedict33 Although it’d be great (and you'd probably get more interaction) if you did this on Bluesky and/or Mastodon rather than Elon’s plantation. But, thanks anyhow.

[Tim Bray @timbray]

@yukihiro_matz I'm so unhappy that you are still posting here, in a swamp full of hate. Please consider finding another online platform.

@thomasgermain Wow, I was there then. Early search engines? UUCP and/or Usenet? Standards organizations, surprising successes and hideous failures? VRML last century? Netscape vs Microsoft? Early blogosphere, technorati and klout and so on? RSS feed-format wars? etc etc etc

Hey, X-folk, long time no see. It’s not unlikely that you soon will be (or already are) looking for an alternative online home. The choice isn’t that easy, and one candidate (Post) just shut down.

here are smart words on where to look: https://t.co/NMxe5siLUT
