@eniko also, people don't need to quit Twitter “cold turkey”: they can start setting up their presence elsewhere while still holding their place there, so it doesn't even have to be as dramatic as some people try to paint it. And the sooner the start, the earlier they'll have a decent following elsewhere and realize that Twitter didn't have to be the be-all-end-all of their network.
@oblomov @eniko That's exactly it. I didn't make my mastodon account with the intent to leave - it was just to take a peek, a just-in-case. But I liked it better here and Musk was getting increasingly insane so I left.
I still have my Twitter account, I just don't use it unless it's to boost someone's post once in a blue moon.
