Taking a short break from Threads and Bluesky. Nothing against those services, but I started over-thinking the post length differences. I need to focus on work and blogging first. Because my blog natively uses ActivityPub, Mastodon folks will still see my posts.

@manton By break, you mean checking those services for others' posts and responding to replies to yours, right? I mean, I'm sure you are crossposting to both already.

@pratik I mean disabling cross-posting too. Maybe just for a couple weeks.

@manton I entirely understand where you are coming from. There are a few tweaks that have to be done for each post. And there's also the fact that I don't want to leave people there with no replies.

My plan is to keep cross posting until #Threads lets us migrate users to other #ActivityPub platform. 🤔 Will they?

Anyway, when and if that happens, I migrate the followers and stop posting there.

@vladcampos They've said they will allow migration. I'm sure it will be the very last thing they do, though.

@manton I understand. It can be overwhelming to check multiple services, especially with your developer hat on. Hence, I'm cautiously optimistic about the unified timelines apps.

@manton That's what I think. It will be the last, if they don't change their minds.

@manton I have a BlueSky account, but I almost never look at it. I tried to set up a Threads account after you added it to Sources, but gave up after trying to get Instagram to login with the correct account and then validate a Threads account. Just don't need it. Such a pain. I'm fine with Mastodon which is where I see most of your posts anyway :D
