 CoffeeGeek is Leaving Twitter.

CoffeeGeek is ceasing its participation on the Twitter / X platform, moving our main social media interaction to Mastodon. Full details as to why, below.

 @37e938b2 Good decision. 😀. Let’s build a better social media experience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 
 "For our most interactive social media going forward, we are going all in on Mastodon and the Fediverse. CoffeeGeek’s official account in that sphere is hosted on Flipboard’s Mastodon instance..." We're so glad to have you here, @37e938b2 ! 
 @37e938b2 What took you so long? 
 @37e938b2 Following and hope there’s something here for a decaf drinker?  Had to give up caffeine for health reasons. 
 @37e938b2 Smart move... I left thousands of my followers behind, but a few have also begun to move over  here to Mastodon 
 @37e938b2 Right after retweeting your same post on Xitter, they asked me to verify I'm a human.
Klicking "log out" instead - and hopefully for the last time - never felt so good.

Your article will be my reference to show to everyone still unsure whether to leave X for good. 

Welcome to Mastodon! 
 @37e938b2 Welcome! Try using #Mastodon apps, such as @67fdc248 and @fd168e4a .

For mobile best experience, you better try @376640de and @e04fd3d2 :-) 

In case you're going to have any issues with #Mastodon , don't hesitate to ask me and community here :-)

Otherwise, glad to see you left #Twitter / #X for #Fediverse :-)

It's not just Mastodon - it's Fediverse, a large collection of other social media together!

Did you know that you can follow and interact with other social media such as #Pixelfed (similar to #Instagram), #Friendica (similar to #Facebook but has all featurs you need, including #Markdown support and quotes by default! Has lots of customization options! ) and #Pleroma and etc? Well now you know :-) 

We have API and edit unlimited button that you can use at any time FOR FREE!

And yes, some instances/servers do allow you to post longer then 500 characters. Check out #Pleroma and #Friendica for that :-) 

They have it by default implemented :-)
