Ever since Musk's control of the company, Twitter (I refused to call it X) showed me multiple hate and racists posts. Basically, Twitter is showing me garbage. I now use Mastadon instead.
Mastodon has been great.
Are there enough using it?
Yes!
I was never active in terms of posting but I followed several news outlets, local government agencies, and a few friends. Shortly after Musk took over I saw nothing but right wing nutjobs and a lot of posts from Musk. I tried unfollowing but nothing worked so I quit logging in. I need to cancel my account but haven't taken the time.
Facebook does that for me too, alongside flat earthers, anti EV crap and the occasional funny picture. It's depressing.
Oh yeah, the flat earthers, the pictures with lens flare on it being proof of "planet X" and other insanity? The best comedy I've ever seen.
