The fragmentation among friends that follows Twitter’s collapse is exactly the kind of problem that Mastodon and the social web solves for. Imagine that you don’t have to pick and choose which new platform to adopt, or make and maintain a million accounts—because you can follow anyone regardless of which platform they’re on. That’s our reality.

On both Twitter and Counter.Social I saw interesting posts from people, and felt a sense of engagement with and by other users. (Twitter has turned to utter garbage, and Counter.Social is intolerant/ban happy - banning anyone who wants to share ideas that are discomforting to the group)

Here, I feel like I'm in a void, like I've been placed in a quarantine and muted. This is such a lonely/empty/dead feeling space - maybe if you're a celebrity or something, it doesn't feel that way?

I know I have friends who felt like Twitter was pretty lonely back before it went to crap. Not sure if that's a platform specific problem
