Comment on Ask HN: How many HN users are moving to Mastodon from Twitter?

Comments

Twitter has been a mixed bag anyway, for me at least.

You decide to follow some tech people like uncle bob and realise he's a boomer with questionable takes and posts bait for attention and engagement.

The vast majority of tech-twitter are misguided juniors, or grifters selling coding courses, e-books etc. to those juniors.

I enjoyed the sneak-peak into people lives, I didn't feel like following highly filtered technical blogs that tend methodologies the authors. Now I can see into people lives, pets, opinions, etc..

If you're not into that I get it. Otherwise for grifters, they're a real problem, but a highly curated, chronological timeline gets rid of them almost entirely.
