have you tried mastadon?
a Brookism comes to mind (hockey coach of 1980 Olympic team):
"you guys play worse every day, and right now you're playing like it's next Tuesday"
..Mastodon is NOW what Twitter was in 2018. Masto onboarded and peaked its function (from where Im sitting) in 2017/18, and it's a great "methadone" for those leaving Twitter, but lacks the hype (albeit naive) hype that AIM or/and Twitter had in their hey day.
yes I was there after leaving twitter
I am not wanting to use a social media platform, or in any way "wanting" a service like it (birsite, masto, whatever) again, just the memories are good (mostly) from those eras (both twitter/aim), and sometimes yearn for a (new) thing like it
