And this depends entirely on the server that you're on.Small servers have it worst.Big servers have it best.

Many people don't mind about not seeing all of these, and that's totally cool! :)But for many people, it can feel broken and lonely.

There are also huge #a11y concerns!Even basic things like dark mode are not maintained - let alone the actual accessibility options.

@Ciantic I would like my client to fetch the correct favourite + boost counts for me. I end up manually 'fetching' the info by opening the original link anyway :)

Things I didn't consider when leaving twitter:"Which platform has the best UX?""What's best for my audience and career?""Where are my friends going?"However... (a thread) (1/7)

"Which platform has the best UX?"With the @elk client, my user experience of mastodon is now better than it ever was for twitterand for any problems I've had, I've been able to raise issues and contribute changesAND it's still in alpha! 👀I can't imagine how good it'll be in a year from now... 🦌(2/7)

@elk "What's best for my audience and career?"In my work and life, I want to be known as someone who is "genuine" and honest.The easiest way for me to do this is to just... "be genuine"So, for me, part of that is following my heart and doing what feels right, regardless of its impact on my career ❤️AND I'm now getting... MORE engagement than I did on twitter!?!? this wasn't supposed to happen!!(3/7)

@elk "Where are my friends going?"I didn't expect so many people to move to mastodon so soon!?The friends that *have* moved here with me... I feel even more connected to them now.Everyone's so much more... authentic(!) hereIs it something to do with this?➡️ Tweets are written for an algorithm.➡️ Toots are written for humans.AND I'm now finding and following more people than I ever did on twitter... this is not how they said it would go!!!(4/7)

@elk But no...When I left twitter, I only considered one thing:"By using twitter, am I directly supporting evil nut-heads who don't want me and my friends to exist?" 🫠(5/7)

@elk "evil nut-heads"I'm no stranger to transphobia and hate speech, but I really hoped that things would get better over time (not worse)!So when presented with a real-world incarnation of a badly written cartoon villain, the least I can do is not be one of those side-characters in a movie that makes me go, "That's so unrealistic! Noone would actually go along with the evil plan!"Not everyone can readily abandon their twitter audience, but I sure can, and you might too(6/7)
