      <title>Why I&#39;m Still on Twitter</title>
      <link>https://wordsmith.social/trevorb/just-put-this-post-on-twitter-mostly-posting-what-little-i-do-post-on</link>
      <description>&lt;![CDATA[Just put this post on #Twitter, “Mostly posting, what little I do post, on #Mastodon these days. My timeline there is https://mastodon.sdf.org/@trevorb”. Even though it has such a terrible reputation, particularly here, I’m not going to leave Twitter.&#xA;&#xA;The reason is that just about everybody is on it. It’s often the fastest way to communicate with small to medium sized companies. And while many high profile individuals have accounts managed by PR people, many don’t and will respond to questions or even mentions.&#xA;&#xA;Of course, in an ideal world, everyone on #Twitter would either have switched to #Mastodon or have accounts on both. I’m hoping my tweet may, in some small way, accelerate that proccess. If it does then I may reconsider the value of my #Twitter account.]]&gt;</description>
