I suspect that the majority of my mastodon followers got nerfed last week when the BitcoinHackers instance shut down. My feed is a ghost town.
If you see this post, please star it or comment so that I can get a sense of who is left.
@scottpenrose @lopp I feel like the twitter-verse is somehow dividing mostly by community, e.g. Apple developers -> Mastodon, Bitcoiners -> Twitter and Nostr, journalists -> Twitter
@mackuba
Depends on the client - a lot of them are pretty rough. But for mature clients I recommend:
iOS: Damus
Android: Amethyst
Web: iris.to
@lopp Ok, I haven't tried iris.to yet and it seems to work ok-ish so far… I've tried Damus but sometimes things just didn't work and it didn't say what was going on and why
Mature is a relative term I guess, iris is still pretty rough in my experience.
@deafboy @lopp I mean… he did write in the "About" that "Not your instance, not your posts" or something like that, but you know how it is… you always hope that this time will be different ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Lesson learned, I've got my own now so I won't lose it again when the admin gets bored or rage-quits (unless I do it).
I think everybody moved to nostr.
@pamaca
Plenty have, though I've noticed several actively tooting accounts that were on BitcoinHackers failed to migrate and just went abruptly silent.
@lopp I'm on a volunteer-led insurance that didn't get rugged (yet?). Activity seems down since the latest Twitter drama faded.
@lopp yea, same. Kinda sucks, now I have two bitcoiner post platforms and two non-bitcoiner post platforms. I miss just having one.
@lopp also, ironically, neither of the bitcoiner ones are self-hostsble. So on Twitter it’s censorable, and on nostr you just hope you have a relay in common with followers, and hope you don’t get caught in common relay spam filters :(
@lopp Hi, still here.
@lopp me here, but primary on nostr
@lopp I think a lot of Bitcoiners also just moved to Nostr like nvk did… personally I've tried it and it's just too rough and unfinished so far, I'll try it again maybe in half a year
