I’d love for this to be true for me (if only to use ivory) but the only things I manage to find are mirrored Twitter accounts, which I assume aren’t forever.
Did you just manually look for the things you cared about?
Yes. I've searched manually for most of mine based on my people i follow on Twitter, they are not all there, and they will be missed. I've got a few mirrored accounts I'm following, but it's not the end of the world if they get cut off from the blue bird (they are mostly sports team feeds). I have also gone back to RSS feeds for my news feed. I like the social aspect of Twitter, it's just turned into a hate platform that scientifically exploits its users by making it addicting to doom scroll. And the interactions I've had on Mastadon/Lemmy are way more wholesome than there, fediverse really does remind me of the early days of Digg/Reddit/Twitter.
Makes sense. I mostly used Twitter as a news aggregator, as yeah, people are often too toxic on there (though there are some funny people I miss seeing).
I wrote my previous response then realized maybe I should just use rss again. Thank you!
