I never clicked with twitter, so I was pretty quick to jump ship after Elon took over and try out some alternatives, namely bluesky and mastodon. I liked them both more in some ways, but my timelines were achingly quiet which made the experience pretty dull.
But then I got frustrated at having like ONE follower at each of my game dev accounts and looked around for ways to meet at least enough people to feel like I wasn't posting into the void, and that quickly gained me enough mutuals and fun people to follow that I now genuinely enjoy checking my timelines, especially on bluesky. And then Twitter was banned in Brazil and a whooole lot of Brazilians joined bluesky, which caused the site to strain for a few days but now it's even more vibrant, though obviously some of that is temporary.
I'll put more thoughts under a cut but if you just want to see my accounts here's sqbr at bluesky and sqbr on mastodon.
