Like to do a X-Twitter list of CPC users?

Well, I saw Gryzor is there, and maybe you too? We can collect our ID if you like.

Mine is: @TFM_FutureSoft

Eventually we can make a Wiki page out of it. Just in case nothing is bad with that. 

[Gryzor]

Probably too many, but a nice idea!

I'm @krakout , btw.

that might be a short-lived list ;-)

I left, for several reasons.

Mastodon aligns better with my view re: Open Source, and in case you want to have a bit of social network, it is healthier.

A lot of the people I was following in Twitter are still there, in their cozy retro-bubble I guess; and I miss some of them, but overall I'm much happier in Masto. There aren't that many Amstrad people AFAIK (but that is easy to fix!).

You can search for "@reidrac@social.sdf.org" if you want to find me there.

Eh, Mastodon is ok if you only use the medium for a specific community. But if you use a medium to follow diverse topics, it's pretty troublesome. Plus the user base is a drop in the ocean...

It all depends, but I see that is not like "everybody in on Twitter", and that's a deal breaker for some people (e.g. famous person X is not in Masto). It was never my use of Twitter; I was interacting with a small group of people with similar interests; which is what you say Masto works best once you find those users.

I miss a few retro-devs, the Japanese MSX community, some modern gamedevs, and some retro-folks. But to be honest, the Amstrad conversation on Twitter was close to none. What I don't miss is the ads, the toxic people, Space Karen, doom-scrolling, people pushing shit into my TL because quote-RT, etc.

Whatever. At the end of the day, social networks are a waste of time anyway

i don't really get the purpose of X yet... friends before seem to want to announce every restaurant they are at for no good reason...

but i am there... and ebay... 

X @ninjazhu youtube ninjazhu

I'm not on Twitter (fuck calling it X, elon musk is a turd) and have no plans to go back to it ever again..

I'd rather sacrifice "reach" to be somewhere I can be queer and happy and waffle about amstrad while i'm at it.

I like mastodon for that

Buuuut "reach" isn't about metrics and internet fake points, it's about people being able to find you, which on Mastodon... not so much.

But let's not turn this into a X vs Y thing - or rather, feel free, I hate Musk and he's made a huge mess out of Twitter, but maybe on a separate thread?

Used to be on it many years ago. It was good during the early to mid 2010s, but it became very toxic very quickly.
I barely even use Facebook anymore, it spends most of it's time deactivated (although I still use the messenger).

Social media has run it's course for me really.
