A good first start with Mastodon. Debirdify helped me quickly find some of the people I follow on Twitter, though just a fraction of the 2000+. But it’s already a welcoming place. I don’t intend to leave Twitter - I don’t believe in letting bullies win. But I’m keeping my options open. Note it doesn’t seem to matter much which Mastodon server you pick at setup, though it can limit searches. I’m a general poster and chose the general Scottish server but if you tend to be more specific eg re coding or game development etc you may want to pick a more specific server initially.
