Changing platforms will always somewhat inconvenient, as long as you have to rebuild your social graph else. This is maybe particularly the case on Mastodon, as you don’t have a feed full of endorphin-maximizing content right off the bat.

Making the move to Mastodon does require a minimum amount of effort. I think it’s good to be open about that. :)

What is comfortable is of course an individual consideration - personally I never felt comfortable on Twitter or Faceboook.

I understood it to mean that this bird feels like this particular mammoth isn’t quite as comfortable but he has a lot of other mammoths to choose from, so he is free

There are several mammoths (instances) peacefully grazing on the same pastures (the social web), but the pastures are also shared with other animals entirely. Perhaps they are single-user instances as no birds are landing on them; perhaps they are completely different pieces of the social web, such as Peertube or Lemmy.

Or maybe I’m over-thinking it.

Tusk, tusk!

Being pedantic about the differences between mammoths and mastodons is legitimately one of my favorite pastimes. Thank you!

This user ^^ mammoths. Or Mastodons, possibly

@OutlierBlue I guess the preference for European alternatives these days runs deep! :)
