Ok, pinned tweet thread with places that I'm going to experiment with having a different presence on Hopefully threading doesn't break

So... Uhhh... If anyone is curious about mastodon but unsure how to start, I'd be happy to help. It's not perfect, but I'm having a much nicer time there

Uhhhh so if the new policy becomes retroactive this account is in violation - so long and thanks for all the fish? I'm tessiselated on the cloudisland dot nz mastodon instance Reach out if you'd like help joining mastodon

I'm actually really enjoying mastodon, so I'm spending most of my time there. I have grabbed tessiselated on Hive as well

Ok, turns out https://t.co/USTKKf3bd3 moderation wasn't what I was after, I'm now on https://t.co/N1hAlL6TOU with @tessiselated@cloudisland.nz

I just took tessiselated on cohost - but I'm in my posting waiting period

i am technically on tumblr but feel very unenthused about it until they figure out their adult content shit. like im followed by porn bots that steal content but people creating their own adult presence are ban hammered

My old mastodon profile which I'll start using again - I'll maybe make others in the future https://t.co/U8UBy1iHpj

finding out that someone who talks about harm a lot who ive been peripherally aware of since shakesville is a 15 year lockheed martin nepotism staff member was fucking hilarious but maybe i dont need to know so much about nobodies in the middle of texas

one thing im reflecting on is maybe having multiple mastodon/other places accounts? that maybe what i want to capture is niche forum posting?

ah hahaha in attempting to unearth my old mastodon account i forgot which instance i signed up on

The social system here changed. And this will change it again. People get half as much of interest, half as much interaction? Some of them leave, and those that are left feel lonelier

Because people and emergent social systems are *also* complex systems. Lindy West abandoning Twitter didn't end the platform, but it was around the time that the celebrities had all Twitter interactions managed by their people

Mastodon is clunky, but twitter is temporarily down and someone ends up having a better conversation there. I'm marked low quality and noone sees my cat pic, but someone on tumblr tells me that my cat is cute. Each time? Some people don't come back

And Twitter will probably get back up after some of these - but each outage, each bug is going to have a social impact https://t.co/F7puFaTnWs

I saw someone say "Onlyfans has outages all the time" which is true! And at a product level, Onlyfans and Twitter are similar. But the scale and complexity of Twitter is different and it's the difference between grandpa having a fall and a toddler taking a tumble.

Maybe it will be fine until after this current crisis and after the change freeze is lifted - when a stressed engineer doing 3 jobs misses something and pushes bad code. There should be checks to contain the impact of bad code - but all of those systems are also under strain

But... Complex systems. Maybe it will be load with the soccer. A (hypothetical) bug that has never been found because it only shows up when both DM deletions and archive requests happen at scale. Maybe not
