I’ve been using NetNewsWire as a Tweetbot replacement and it’s been a fairly seamless transition (since I have no want to Tweet anymore). But I can’t shake the feeling that it’s on borrowed time and that I need to find a way to recreate what I’m getting from Twitter elsewhere.
@desparoz Reeder is my RSS app of choice, but there’s something about Twitter that I want to keep separate from RSS. That’s why I went with a totally separate app
@ryanbooker Oh yeah, I'm over on mastodon.social and loving Ivory, as well. There's definitely a subset of what I got from Twitter that I'm getting from Mastodon and--like you said-- what's there is exciting both in content and in vibe.
My problem is that there's a sizable portion of my Twitter follows (mainly in local and national news/politics and pop culture/sports/movies/TV) that hasn't migrated over. Because of that, Mastodon feels incomplete to me.
Now some of that is definitely my fault: almost all of the above-- especially the pop culture-- can be found on Mastodon; I just haven't taken the time to figure it out. But there's a lot that will never be able to be replicated. I've got to determine what's important to me and then figure out how to get it-- be it in Mastodon or elsewhere.
@jordon Yeah. Fair enough! I was mostly following Apple tech stuff and that seems to be almost completely migrated to Mastodon.
