Oddly, I signed up about a week before any of that happened on a whim. I think the universe is trying to tell me "get away from and don't go back to Twitter you dimwit." (Or, of course, it's purely coincidence.  )
Personally I've never felt very engaged with Twitter. I like the micro-blogging structure, it meshes well with me. But Twitter is... er... I'd like to put it into nice words, but honestly it's just shitty. It feels like it was made with heart originally and then at some point the corporate machine sucked all that away and left us with a husk of a platform that's been overtaken by however many tech buzzwords you can think of (machine learning, algorithms, etc.)
Having something in-between longhand conversation and chatting is delightful. Extending that with a platform that gives power to the people is ingenious and more importantly it works. Etiquette can always be taught. But it only matters when the environment encourages it.
E: Oh, right, it's @marrub@sleeping.town (backup is @marrub@mastodon.technology)
