@tuxxus @smj !fediverse i haven't been back to any of the old places since i announced i'd be leaving for the new federated !sdf  ... things here have evolved quite a bit since then vis a vis participation, diversity, activity, and quality of notice content; i wonder what the best way is to actually get people to listen and give !gnusocial a proper once-over. this article http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/sam-parker/twitter-why-i-quit_b_2582241.html is pretty compelling but it's only the "why //not// twitter?" and is missing the "why #?" ... thoughts/advice welcome.
