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 most of my friends are still there. Friends aren't replaceable, so it's a matter of waiting until the platform becomes truly unusable before the people I spent ten years with there will leave for other pastures.
I mean. I went so far as to set up a #Supernatural instance here, and maybe a dozen of my twitter friends made an account, but I think maybe 2 or 3 actually use the accounts.
