I honestly have a lot of empathy for people who are having trouble letting go of Twitter because they used to be popular, or very engaged, there. I made amazing relationships there, and there was a time when I really loved the feedback loop I had. (I didn’t care that much about being “known”, but I valued the access it gave me.) It’ll be years before the fediverse reaches its own equivalent strengths, and I don’t fault anyone for struggling to transition from a familiar (if failing) platform.
@anildash I do fault people who see themselves as moral champions, though. This really is a case of 'you just have to stop'. If you can't stop at this point, where is your stopping point? And the more folk who see themselves as the Jedi in the equation stick around, the more the other people a) really can't be bothered to change their routine and b) feel that the stuff they're seeing & interacting with is 'normal'.
