I'm on mastodon, but the problem is none of the people I want to follow are (mostly sports press). for now I am relying on bots who just repost their stuff from twitter, and sometimes they go down for long periods of time. at this rate I'm not sure mastodon will ever take off for what I used twitter for.

And threads is equally shitty, or worse than twitter. I begrudgingly signed up for an instagram account to try it, followed a few people, then my feed was crammed full of instagram catfish and sad ass middle aged dudes asking for dates. I get that they're trying to hook you with algorithms, but in the process they've made the service literally unusable.

Bluesky gets forgotten

Good news! I already did, the day the moron Musk took over.

I've never used Twitter a lot and I've mostly stopped using it, but Mastodon is just not a viable alternative for most people. I used Twitter to keep up with things. I made a Mastodon account like two years ago, but almost none of the people or organisations I care about are on there. And most of the ones that are on it aren't posting. So I'm basically never using it. The same is true for Bluesky. Threads may be better but I'd rather avoid anything from Facebook.
