       I'm a lapsed #mastodon user who started off here after the first #twittermigration and yes, I gravitated back to #Twitter, and I'm sorry but my friends were and still are over there. And many #mastodon users, especially the early users and the migrators who were able to transition over without much hassle might criticise those of us who started with good intentions, but it's not through lack of trying. I've had my Twitter account since 2007, I started it at my workplace after a training session about Web 2.0 and Twitter. Do you remember when we were all super excited about the prospect of an interactive internet where we could interact with webpages? Social media was in its infancy, the world hadn't completely lost their mind.Since then I've had my account and made lots of friends, I have taken so much value from the content, so many connections. And then #Elon happened. I will never delete my Twitter account, and like many fellow Twitterers when it calms down and feels a bit more 'normal' I slip back into old habits.But when Elon rises his head and makes a change it brings it back the fact it is turning into some dystopian billionaire hellhole whilst he tries to coax us to pay him money. And we start to grieve what we lost. Grief is a difficult and gnarly emotion, and I would speculate many Twitterers that do care, are in denial.Be nice to us. We are trying to migrate but it's hard. It will be hard, it's like giving up smoking. Some find it easy, others less so. If the restrictions ARE temporary, some might go back. Others might finally stick, but beyond perceived loyalty, for many it is a process.

       @chris_ Wow! Well put and sums up almost exactly my feelings and reasons for why I’m on #mastodon and how I feel at the moment about #twitter

       @mycart @chris_ Twitter is only bad because of fags and nonwhites.

       @chris_ We get you more than you may realize.Most of us “migrants,” had the same experiences you have. Had to make the decisions.I’m not going to rag on you. Everyone must do what they feel is best for themselves. I deleted my account on Nov 22. That was when you could still export your followers and follow base to Mastodon. Plainly, someone didn't like that so that ability has disappeared. I’m happy here. I’ve joined a new community. I am making connections. You all do you.🌻
