  1. Like many of you, I'm on #Mastodon now! @develwithoutacause@techhub.social I'm hoping the #WebDev community can find a new home there. I'll probably cross-post here for at least a little while and see how I actually enjoy it compared to #Twitter. techhub.social/@develwithoutacause

      And literally as soon as I posted this it looks like techhub.social is down. 🤦 TBH I picked the server kinda arbitrarily. Would love to see the #WebDev community land on a good one.

      I've never personally been very tied to Twitter. I mainly joined to be a part of the web community, but I really don't care where that community goes. I'm just happy to be part of it, and I think we can build something similar on Mastodon.

        For the record, I'm not convinced Mastodon will ever go mainstream or that Twitter will die anytime soon (though the #ChiefTwit has surprised me before). I think it's more likely that the next big social media gimmick will just have an easier time taking Twitter's users.

          Moderation *is* Twitter's key feature yet it's new owner has zero understanding of that, which I think spells long term doom. I just feel terrible for everyone who worked/works at Twitter and hope they land on their feet.

            I also have no faith Twitter can respect and maintain user privacy or security anymore given exactly how the change in ownership went down. I'm honestly debating deleting this account just for that reason.

              I'll probably hang out here for at least a bit since this whole fiasco is nothing if not entertaining. Definitely hoping to wind it down though. Do follow me on Mastodon though if you're at all interested in shitposts of things *other* than Twitter. 😅
