I have since deactivated my account, but i still will occasionally click on the Twitter link on desktop. That site loads sooooooo slow these days. It’s really disheartening to see so many people refuse to let go of birdsite.
With Twitter, you follow people. On Reddit you follow topics. As long as the best topics are discussed, Lemmy is a viable alternative. But Mastodon needs specific people you want to follow to move over.
Mastodon actually lets you follow hashtags, which is a nice compromise, but it definitely isn’t curated so you gotta pick which hashtags you follow kinda carefully.
