It’s not just lemmy that’s benefiting from Elon Musk.

    I wanted to use mastodon, but I haven’t even used twitter in years, so then I realized I just don’t social media that way anymore (or much at all for that matter).

      I got it and I’m trapped in a weird bubble of shit that doesn’t really interest me and I don’t like microblogging I think

        Same. @squizzy, I don’t like microblogging in general either. I was raised in the golden era of forums (the days of phpBB and vBulletin). My twitter account hasn’t been touched for years now.

      I was finally super duper permabanned from Reddit, and decided to give up. No more workarounds, new accounts, new emails, spoofing MAC addresses, multihop VPNs… And I’ve got to say, I have gotten more done in the past few weeks than in the last year combined.

      I never used Twitter save for occasionally hearing about tweets, but I have been enjoying using Mastodon because in practice it’s basically just a way for me to have a feed of cool astronomy pictures.

        I found cool astronomy pictures on Reddit, and some now on lemmy! Cheers for random cool pictures of space.
