Hope some of them go to Mastadon.

Does Mastodon have the blocking features that Bluesky has (like lists, blocks stopping quote reply chains, etc)?

Other than on Blahaj, I’ve never found a place more chill to be queer online once you apply a couple of well maintained block lists.

If you need the feature set of Bluesky and can’t use Mastodon, please also follow https://fed.brid.gy/ if you can. This will allow Mastodon users to follow you from the Fediverse.

As far as I’m aware, Mastodon blocks work the same way they’ll work on Twitter now - The person you blocked can see your posts, but can’t interact with you

Edit: Actually, I was wrong the person you blocked can’t see your posts on Mastodon

I know Imani Gandy is now posting on mastodon. She had an enormous following on Twitter.

Yeah it really actually only takes a couple of big users moving to Mastodon to cause a domino effect of a mass migration. I hope more people with tons of followers start moving over.

The problem is that people won’t move until their audience there and their audience won’t move until they are there.

And mastodon is a bit less straightforward compared to old Twitter.

If they don’t, please also follow https://fed.brid.gy/ so your BlueSky account is federated to Mastodon. If you move to Threads, please turn on Fediverse integration.

It’s so frustrating, between Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads almost every person I used to follow on Twitter exists somewhere else. But only about half of them are accessible in any one platform.

IOCX has a noticeable increase in new user signups since a day or two back.
