We identified our target (#EarlyMajority) & know what motivates them to switch (#WholeProductDevelopment & #WellEstablishedReferences).
Question 1: what features does Masto lack that many of us noted upon 1st arrival & would be welcomed by the existing community & new members (I have ideas)
Question 2: how do we get our big name emigres to start evangelizing for Masto on Bird Site? (I have ideas) /4
This is eminently do-able. Bird Site can be killed
Seize the #EarlyMajority and Bird Site is all but dead because the #LateMajority's prime motivation is #FOMO (fear of missing out/getting left behind) and can reliably be counted on to grudgingly follow the Early Majority. As for the #Laggards nobody anywhere should spare them a thought for any reason.
Thus Bird site's transition to dank backwater of racism/hatred/ignorance is complete & it will not be able to sustain itself. #BirdSite will die /3
When #Mastodon acquires #EarlyMajority the #DeathOfTwitter is only a matter of time.
Status as of today: the #MastodonPioneers (Innovators) came here #PreBirdSiteMeltdown & built this world. Meltdown strikes & early #BirdSiteEmigres have arrived (#EarlyAdopters).
The wide majority of decent Bird Site humans (#EarlyMajority) remain on Bird Site, awaiting a clear alternative complete with #WholeProductDevelopment & #WellEstablishedReferences. /2
#Mastodon can be seen as 'a new way of doing things' for Twitter emigres. Another word for that is #Innovation. If we want to know how populations adopt innovations we refer to the #InnovationAdoptionCurve.
Throw rocks all day at those remaining otherwise decent Twitter folks that've not yet found their way to Masto but according to #TheCurve it's no mystery why: the needs of the #EarlyMajority are not yet met (it's the same for climate stuff) /1
