most people leaving are just going to private spaces with friends they made here, where trolls can't follow. they're just done.
you got here 3 weeks ago but a lot of us put a lot of ourselves into making this place what it was over the past ~2 years. it wasn't perfect, but it was pretty damn good.
Trolls can follow into those 'private' spaces unfortunately.
Yup, I avoided social Media till my egg cracked I suppose.
I came here for the community and to have people to talk to who understand what I'm going through
If 2 years of work was put in, why abandon when this was always coming...
i mean spaces like discord & signal. i'm not abandoning yet, i'm not telling you to either. but the community you came here for? that was us. we built it. it was ours. we were here from the start & you'll just have to believe me that it took something pretty significant to make it not worth staying
i don't know, personally this is my last run with microblogging social media i think. i have an instagram mostly for work, some folks are going to mastodon, but my sense of it is most people are just heading to various private discord servers if anything
Discord is inevitably going to go down in flames - which is tragic and I hope doesn’t happen for a long time because I have more communities there than here.
Mastodon may suck now but I have hope in a future more like the the truly connected one they’re developing
i cannot believe the decisions made by the leadership here over the past week or so. i don't think i could have killed a platform faster or more effectively if i'd set out to do it intentionally

Trolls will follow
I'm much more terrified of irl situations than social media nonsense.
I'm here for the foreseeable future.
