It amazes me that people are still insisting on using this platform like everything's fine.
From what I've heard, a bunch of Twitter users have been flocking (pun not intended) to Mastodon. Glad to see that more people are finally ditching Elon Musk's circus show.
There's some real fallout from it though. I ditched Twitter probably a decade ago, as soon as I picked up Reddit, honestly. But I do have a friend of mine that's an author, and Twitter has been instrumental in promoting his books and establishing his fan community. There are so many people like that, and for their sake it's a damn shame Musk has decimated Twitter.
Bingo.
"Just switch to Bluesky or Mastadon" doesn't work for artists who have spent years building up their customer base on Twitter.
It's a hard lesson to learn, but putting your eggs in one basket sometimes leads to losing all your eggs. Monolithic social media servers are attractive due to their ease of use, but this is the risk.
