I wasn’t using Mastodon much, so I redirected my standalone account to the Micro.blog-Mastodon-Compatible one. One less social network to check. For now, I still have Threads and Bluesky, both barely used. I may phase them out soon as well.

@Mtt Did the same some time ago. I usually go through my social network account usages yearly and drop those that I don't use anymore (or use very little). Some are harder to drop, even if their engagement are poor. Some for historical (mostly nostalgic reasons), some for the fact that I have enough following on those to make them feel "important".

I've been hoping that ActivityPub would solve this multiple account problem, but in all honesty, I just don't see that happening yet. Most of the ActivityPub supporting socials are quite niche still. Curious to see if Threads boosts the adoption more or not on the big picture (if/once they start supporting it, as they've promised in their roadmap talks).

@Mtt I do cross-post from MB to Bluesky and Mastodon. I check them from time to time because I get some reactions from there occasionally. I'm rarely posting directly on these, though. MB FTW! And boy I do follow people on Mastodon from Micro.blog! cc @torb @juha

@torb @numericcitizen I am doing the same for Bluesky. Basically only check it when I see a notification.

@juha I would love for something to fully solve the multiple account problem, but I don't see that happening. Too many things don't translate properly between the different services to make it possible.

For now, simple cross posting is probably the best we'll see. And obviously that's not even fully working (Threads and Twitter/X).

@Mtt I keep thinking that there must be some way to for micro.blog to remain micro.blog while fully supporting Mastodon.

Use the same address in both places, supporting boosts and favorites while on Mastodon but not while in the micro.blog universe.

I haven't yet figured out how that might work.

@MitchW That's far beyond my level of expertise.
