I just wish the artists would leave, but no other social media allows porn too.

Mastodon totally allows NSFW content. Maybe Threads doesn't, but why trade one deranged billionaire tech overlord for another?

Mastodon has some problems. It's slow, the "instances" concept is confusing, discoverability is poor, and the UI isn't as nice as Threads.

Still worth making the jump for the sake of community governance.

Twitter was destroyed by the governance problem. It proves how we can't ignore the governance structure of the places we invest our time anymore.

But yeah, I'm very disappointed how many people who hate Musk's changes to twitter -- even trans people -- are staying there.

Mastodon totally allows NSFW content.

Just search on the #NSFW hashtag, can't miss it.

I joined Twitter fairly recently as Machine Learning Twitter is/was a thing, and I wanted to stay abreast of news from people like Andrej Karpathy, Chris Olah, Andrew Ng etc., especially since r/MachineLearning went down the shitter.

But I can't even - I log on and just instantly see ragebait posts from Daily Mail talking heads and bullshit.

Are there any better alternatives for this purpose?

Believe it or not, for tech deep cuts, Mastodon is better.

I finally left around the name change. Account is still there but I normally only check it when I'm texted a link, which rarely happens.
