The more #Twitter followers folk have (or had) the harder it is (or was) to leave. Something changes - maybe around 5K followers - their identity gets so tied to follower count. They’re in thrall to the algorithm & can’t bear to lose their megaphone. This happens even to dear friends.

Some folk in their #introduction go “I hope to connect with many of my XXX Twitter followers as I can”. Forget your Twitter status, love.

It’s surely this that fuels the bird site’s toxic side. #TwitterMigration

@BenHoare I was never concerned about followers there I had/have a few thousand. It was all about quality interactions. Here it is very easy to pick and choose what conversations to participate in. It is different but in a good way. #Twitter
@Brucec Absolutely! Hopefully I’ll have the hang of this by Christmas!
