4/6 Another reason I still (unfortunately) rely on X is that certain core communities are based there. Much of web dev (although there’s also a growing community of web geeks here on Mastodon) and nearly all of the AI app crowd are still based on X. Maybe that will slowly change, but it’ll be in years not months.

5/6 I am encouraged that key tech news platforms, like Techmeme, are already supporting the fediverse — as well as X, but (like me) Techmeme has to keep supporting X, as that’s where much of the news happens or is commented on. Also there are some great apps for Mastodon now (I use Ivory on iOS). Mastodon software also is evolving nicely (see search note above). So all of this leads me to believe that SLOWLY, but surely, the fediverse is making progress.

I'm glad to read you acknowledge how "unfortunate" remaining 'there' is. But c'mon shake the tree, because supporting that platform under its current admin is a real compromise of personal dignity, ethics and morality.
how long can you be good with that?
All of us lost an amazing place when twitter died.
we need to make choices now or just become assimilated
