@aaronpk are you filtering? I’ve had to actively filter on here to keep bad stuff away. Filtering for “RT “ and “@twitter.com” helped enormously.

That's not a bad idea. I'm not filtering that kind of stuff out yet.

Do you post the same content on both Twitter and Mastodon? If so, do you have a client to recommend?
I just feel I won’t post on Mastodon unless it’s the path of least resistance

You are not going to like my answer, but it is the path of least resistance for me.

I post *everything* first to my website, and my website handles syndicating it to Twitter and via ActivityPub.

@aaronpk https://social.coop/@brainwane/109379248562850620 do you filter out their boosts?

I don't right now, but I like that idea. Wouldn't be hard for me to do the way I have it set up. But I'm not sure that would actually help much in the end.

@aaronpk What kind of reader are you using? I'd love to read a post about your fediverse setup!

I haven't written about it specifically, but it's all integrated into my personal website and also my IndieWeb reader setup. I did write about that here:

@aaronpk I feel ya. Today I curated a few lists to make it more likely I can keep up with individual humans I already know, to make it feel more okay to not be a completist about my home feed.

oh yeah I don't even have a home feed because I use my own software, I've always followed people by putting them into different groups.

good news: my Mastodon/fediverse timeline has already ramped up to the level of activity of my Twitter timeline

bad news: catching up on my Mastodon/fediverse timeline is now as noticeably bad for my mental health as Twitter was

and no I'm not actually using Mastodon, and yes everyone I've followed I've grouped into different lists, I don't have a "main timeline" to read. That's helped a lot, I can choose to dip into different communities when I want to.

So Musk sent emails to European Twitter employees, firing them. Problem is, you cannot legally fire people that way here, so legally they're still employed and legally owed money for their time. But also, firing people as exists in the USA doesn't exist here...
