To the liberal diaspora from Twitter, where have you landed?

Mastodon.

1. Is it any good. Is it safe, etc..

8. It is a bunch of hosts (social servers). Then you can choose to follow those in your hosted

group or get the posts from the greater federation. It is more European than Twitter but that will change as I follow some groups or people rather than others. I can't quite get the search to work. Don't know what I am doing wrong. It renders a lot like Twitter... that feels the same. But your feed has to be built up over time for it to match Twitter for journalists and groups and meme creators. So it is a work in progress. I wanted to give them money and for the life of me I could not figure it out. All in all it depends very much on how many tweeters move there and how quickly they make themselves known. I like it but would like the search function to work. Maybe it is just that anything I have searched for is not on Mastodon. If that is the case it should tell me my search came up empty.

11. Thank you for the details. I will check it out.

13. Friends with disabilities tell me it stinks for accessibility. n/t

[applegrove]

16. That's too bad.

[Ms. Toad]

17. I have several friends who would like to move there,

but are not because of the challenges called out with other friends with disabilities. Two I am aware of are the complexity/learning curve which is a challenge for at least some with ADD/ADHD, and blind friends have indicated the layout is not screen-reader friendly so they can't access content.

If you search for Mastadon and accessibility you'll find descriptions of more than I am aware of - since I haven't done much looking.

On edit: to be fair, I haven’t been on in more than a year.

I’ve been away for a while, but glad to be back!

12. I was never there to begin with

So I guess there is nowhere to land from?

14. I haven't left

I'm in a period of watchful waiting. I have said it before, I will leave when @LeviFetterman does.

15. Mastodon. I'm on the masthead.social server

18. Outside most days

It's a nice place. Good interactions.

Sometimes you gotta use the eye roll emoji, but it's mostly thumbsupville.
