       Staying on twitter because you need the income is an extremely poor long term plan because it will only continue worsening over timeThe longer you wait to build a community elsewhere the harder it'll be when you finally have to because twitter can no longer sustain you"Oh well thats easy for you to say you have 5000 followers on mastodon"1. Yes because I took my own advice and aggressively invested in other places immediately when the writing for twitter was on the wall2. I had two and a half times that amount of followers on twitter, AND I'm poor enough that we couldn't run heat all winter, AND I was still on the tail end of a nervous breakdown when I moved here. It was not "easy", but it was necessary, so I did it, because that's how it is on this bitch of an earthI don't post this to be mean. I'm posting this because I'm concerned for your future

       @eniko It's so low effort as well - all you have to do is have an account and copy-paste your tweets if people are still really attached to Twitter. Heck if their income depends on it, it's an easy way to increase reach.But people aren't doing it and I think a part of it is the Ostrich Effect. It's too much to face the possibility that Twitter might end up dying. Too scary. So rather than prepare, the brain shuts down and pretends it's not happening.

       @dhfir @eniko I was not. But now you mention it, you're right - that makes it even easier! Any crossposters you'd recommend?
