Time to ditch Twitter/X, what are you guys switching to? ( kbin.social )

Nothing, because I never had a use for Twitter in the first place.
But the obvious fediverse alternative would be Mastodon. Decentralized, open source and you can use it even to communicate with kbin.

Just wanted to comment that your cover image is great and on point :)

I've been using Mastodon a bit more, and I do also have a Threads account.

I'm curious: why are you using Mastodon when you're a kbin user already? Why not just use the microblogging aspect of kbin? It's even federated with Mastodon!

I was using Mastodon before Kbin.

That's a good reason!

I never used Twitter so I’m just going to keep not using it.

Moved my Mastodon account over to Firefish for the features.

I’ve had a Mastodon account since 2018, but I officially moved from twitter last year. I also have a firefish/calckey account and and akkoma one.

I prefer Firefish. Its features allow me to use it as a mix of twitter and tumblr. For something extrictly twitter-like, I’ll go for Akkoma as I find Mastodon to be lacking some important characteristics and its minimalistic design to be uninviting.

@woshang I got kicked off Twit years ago. Once Elon took over and let loose the Putinistas and authoritarians, there was no reason to go back to that cesspool of hate and misinformation

#kbin which is like reddit + twitter. Somethings I post as threads (like reddit) some things I post as posts (like twitter). Then I hop between the two when reading. Posts fall under microblogs and federates with Mastodon. So it is like having thing I need in one account.
