You can bridge them together and call it a day. Otherwise, presumably because a bunch of the interesting people who left Twitter are there and not on Masto.

I mean, don't ask questions you don't want to hear the answers to, I suppose.

A friend convinced me, since they are on BSKY, to get an account. I don't really get the format of Xitter/BSKY/Masto. I tend to hang here mostly, and on Pixelfed but less so. Same disappointment on my part from those who can't leave FB/IG/Reddit because 'that's where all the cool kids are'. So yeah, I may open the app from time to time (month to month), but BSKY is not for me.

Note: We had a guy in town called MudMan, built a labyrinth some years back in a local park.

Like, was that his legal name? Because man, that's ballsy.

Anyway, I mostly agree with you, I am more at home here than on all the microblog platforms. I do feel Bsky does a better job at being that than Masto. Masto is insular and man, I hate to say it, but the way its firehose "Home" feed works convinced me that you need at least some options to handle post sorting beyond raw chronological. I don't hate it, but if I wanted a social network entirely predicated on arguing about Twitter I'd be on Twitter (and for people in denial about the popularity of their open source alternative we have the Linux forums here, so I'm good there, too).

IANAL, and everyone calls him MudMan Johnson. Why is that ballsy? I really know very little about popular culture.

Not a pop culture thing, it just sounds... self deprecating, I suppose.

I hear it and think, a man of the earth. Good for you both.
