@verretor Still waiting for the event that makes crypto twitter flood back into Mastodon. I guess its a series of cuts, instead of just one big event.
@TallTim Yeah. Very few of us still use Mastodon.
@verretor Just like few people used Bitcoin way back. I'm comfortable being early.
@htimsxela @TallTim @verretor maybe we should put up a follow list for newcomers? It's true that the federated structure of Mastodon is a bit surprising when you come from Twitter, a lot of interesting people are on other instances and you can't find them easily.
Another solution is to boost more those people so that they pop up in your instance own tl and others can discover them too
@Sosthene @htimsxela @verretor I agree that mastodon is like a throwback to fidonet. If you have people you follow on other instances please post them so I can check them out. Appreciated.
@TallTim @Sosthene @verretor
It seems like ~most of the users I follow from this instance haven't posted in many months, or more (but there are a number that post regularly still!). Finding users outside bitcoinhackers is kind of essential, my timeline is still nicely filled with interesting posts most days.
@vbhide @htimsxela Thanks for the mention and the follow.
@htimsxela @TallTim @Sosthene @verretor @harding @orionwl @laurentmt @stevenroose @fribbledom @liberliver @emzy @waxwing @raucao @vbhide @pjb @taoeffect @kukks Yes, there are definitely more people interested in bitcoin on gab than BitcoinHackers. Like by a lot. probably 10x more. If you join Gab, join my group while you are at it. ;)
@AvatarX @htimsxela @TallTim @verretor @harding @orionwl @laurentmt @stevenroose @fribbledom @liberliver @emzy @waxwing @raucao @vbhide @pjb @taoeffect @kukks is it possible to follow people there from Mastodon? I'm a bit reluctant to create another account on a new social media
@Sosthene I sure hope so. If BitcoinHackers is not blocking Gab or if an update of mastodon ha not done that and that was not looked at.
@Sosthene @htimsxela @TallTim @verretor @harding @orionwl @laurentmt @stevenroose @fribbledom @liberliver @emzy @waxwing @raucao @vbhide @pjb @taoeffect @kukks If anyone has questions about gab. I can probably answer them given I have paid attention to it since mid 2017.
@Sosthene @htimsxela @TallTim @verretor @harding @orionwl @laurentmt @stevenroose @fribbledom @liberliver @emzy @waxwing @raucao @vbhide @pjb @taoeffect @kukks Also let me know who of you are seeing my replies. You might not be seeing them.
@AvatarX I can see this message, so I guess it means it's not blocked here. But iiuc groups are a fab feature so I can't access it from here
@Sosthene Yes, they are among many others. Which is why my reply said: "if you join gab, join my group" ;)
@AvatarX (trimmed the reply list) I see accounts on gab.com just fine. Running my own Mastodon server with default settlings.
@TallTim @Sosthene @verretor
here is a quick list of users I follow from other instances that post btc/otherwise-sorta-related-and-interesting stuff. In no particular order:
@harding @orionwl @laurentmt @stevenroose @AvatarX @fribbledom @liberliver @emzy @waxwing @raucao @vbhide @pjb @taoeffect @kukks
I haven't really explored the Gab instance at all, but I get the impression there are more btc-interested users there.
