Off topic... looking forward to more engineers moving to Mastodon. I have Twitter/X blocked at DNS level and still fairly frequently encounter interesting accounts that I can't check out.

Every time I see Twitter/X here, I want to say this.

How is it other people’s problem that you block a site that they’re on?

(Fwiw I have Twitter blocked too, though not for moral reasons)

Nobody's saying it's anybody else's problem - they're just looking forward to more content being on Mastodon (or elsewhwere) as people move away from X.

, in response to a thread sharing the Twitter profile of a key person mentioned in the article, who also comments here.

The subtext is clearly “jkb, please move to Mastodon cause I blocked Twitter”. Not spelling that out doesn’t make it a lot less weird IMO.

It's not that weird, you are reading too much into the subtext. The web is in a transitory state, platforms change, people move. Wishing for more content to be available on a specific platform without blaming the author is an acceptable comment in my view.

Is there a particular mastodon server or set of servers that the engineering community is favoring? I know it technically doesn’t matter in a federated network, but curious anyway.

I'm on fosstodon. floss.social is also big.
