I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon.

For me, I have a nice Twitter feed. Really nice, lots of good people and it makes me happy. Nearly none of them are on Mastodon so I'm having a hard time doing this anew. I expect a lot of those folks will have a hard time moving to Mastodon, but some have left for Instagram. Not the same. I have found a lot of the same forums from Reddit here, and some are empty so I hope to help populate.

I'm guessing Mastodon is a Twitter like thing? I could Google but I'm here to chat about things. It's kinda nice being on what feels like an old internet or fledgling community space

Yes, Mastodon is microblogging like Twitter. Usually has longer character counts, my instance has 5000 which helps because I tend to get long-winded.

5000! What instance is that? Are they all like that?

I notice the length of some posts here on Lemmy. It's wonderful you can have your full say but usually I can't finish long posts. Usually it's because of my eyes and there are no clients that allow me to use serif fonts yet.
