social.tchncs.de is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A friendly server from Germany – which tends to attract techy people, but welcomes everybody. This is one of the oldest Mastodon instances.

For people worried about their following on X / Twitter, it's really truly not worth it.

I've left behind 74K followers. I don't miss having my content on there at all, and it has clearly *not* affected traffic even in the slightest bit.

It's been a week since my last content posted from the website to X, so I have a pretty good look at traffic now, there was literally *no* drop-off, and the first few days after leaving X traffic went up 🤷

@gamingonlinux I think the important part is, leave a social network in steps and tell people you will move. Leave a new place to find you instead of instantly deleting an account.
It is a statement and it might help to migrate people if they can find your new location(S)
