Don't do this. Delete your Xitter account and use Mastodon instead.

Xitter

In my head that's pronounced "shitter"

[–] kescusay 61 points 1 year ago

That is indeed my intent.

I'm seeing equal parts shitter and exiter.

Man I never had a Twitter account to begin with, lol. Any Internet site that wants my ID can eat a dick instead because I will straight-up close that tab and 360 moonwalk right out the door.

I got a mastodon, but there's nothing there.

You have to work to populate it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Do you mean nothing as in your feed has barely any posts? Or nothing as is there's no one interesting to follow?

[–] kescusay 1 points 1 year ago

Give it time. With both Xitter and reddit trying to kill themselves, and Threads dead on arrival, adoption of both Lemmy and Mastodon is going up.
