honestly the reason I am leaving twitter (as it is a process that's my finished yet) isn't that Elon took over, or that it has started openly catering to nazis rather than covering that fact with fig leaves...it's that finally a critical mass of people with sufficiently diverse backgrounds was moving to a place I like better.that's it. I haven't enjoyed my time on twitter for years. it has been bad and dangerous for marginalised people this whole time.it's just that people were there.

it was more usable than the alternatives, and it was easy to find a variety of people from all over the world, covering every conceivable topic.this hasn't been the case for mastodon, and isn't now, not really, but NOW I think there's a chance it may actually turn into that.so that's why I'm here, and that's why I'm leaving twitter. I don't need to pretend that I am coming or going for anything other than people

it's funny how everyone is welcoming me to mastodon when I made my first mastodon account in... maybe 2017? I made a few over the years, it was just never enough to stick around

I also never know what to answer when people say how long have you been on mastodon. you mean how long it's been since I've come here the first time and started giving people stink for not having proper light mode support and not having the ability to display image descriptions? (those are accessibly features I depend on.) or how long since I've been actually using it regularly? because these are two very different numbers
