I was a heavy Twitter user once, but those times are long gone. Not that I don’t enjoy Twitter anymore, I just find their business model to be pretty nasty. I had a few Twitter pages in my bookmarks, mostly some people from Bitcoin community. Apparently, this community decided to migrate to Mastodon, and it was such a relief for me. Mastodon allows me to subscribe to certain blogs via RSS. Twitter used to be like this, until they decided that sharing content doesn’t suit their financial interests.

I even created my own Mastodon blog, and it turned out to be pretty helpful. Some folks from the Bitcoin community helped me to set up a Bitcoin and Lightning node. Mastodon feels like microblogging done right. Highly recommend.
