We were informed about Mastodon from folks on Twitter back in 2019 that were looking to migrate. (I forget what Twitter was up to at the time, but part of me wants to say some form of censorship was going on) Never looked back on that end as Twitter’s vibes were always rancid, well before the buyout, and the Masto instance we were on felt so much more like an actual community.

As for Lemmy, kinda similar story but we never had a Reddit. Never felt it necessary to interact with that community whereas this one feels more real, joined a couple years ago now I think?

We’re also looking at WAFRN to replace or at least bridge from Bluesky, we kinda begrudgingly joined that site only after learning that Dorsey was out of the picture but it’s just been nothing but the admins shooting themselves in the collective foot for as long as we’ve been on Bsky.
