Hi developer friends (esp #opensource -y types), if you have ditched twitter for #Mastodon for ideological reasons (I suspect you are many because... wow.), would you please drop me a note and tell me a little about it? I'd appreciate it. I'm just trying to get an idea of where people are on this right now. I'm feeling very conflicted. For now, I am still cross posting, but I'm feeling ickier by the day. #TwitterMigration Boosts welcome and appreciated.
@katherined I still have a foot in both camps, mainly because most of the DevRel folks I speak to are still there, and long email chains when I just want to say hi or share a crappy pun seams a little much.
Most of my FOSS friends have moved over, and many of the #HPC crowd are slowly coming, but for now I'm trying to slowly ease the transition for them.
Ex is that HPC.social is also doing community blogs, maps and more. Not just mast, so getting people interested in one eases the others
@katherined it’s also worth mentioning that academia as a whole is all over the place on how to react to it.
Many are happy to criticize, are indignant about the situation (insert other descriptors) but seems to be stuck in a form of idle curiosity on what will happen next, unwilling to leave for fear of “missing out”
I feel like someone in a psych 101 course saying this, but it’s like they’re truly addicted and stuck in a loop.
@fclc I see that too.
