1/6 So, how's it going with the Great Migration from X/Twitter? For myself, I now treat Mastodon as my main tool for tooting/tweeting to the world. But I've always been more of a "reader" than a "writer" on social media (i.e. I don't toot every day, but I check social media regularly during each day — mainly for my job as a tech journalist).

2/6 Much as I admire those people who have deleted their X a/cs and now exclusively use Mastodon, I am still finding X/Twitter to be of the most value to my job as a journalist. e.g. my latest article, about Vercel’s AI products, could not have been written without info from X — not to mention I DMed its CEO there, for further info. Plus of course: SEARCH. This is a core part of my daily usage of social media. So, I still need/use X.
