Mike Masnick ✅It remains mindboggling to me how many people on the other site feel the need to constantly bash Mastodon. I didn't join a bunch of other social media sites, but I didn't feel the desire to mock them either. It's kinda weird, because it includes people I normally get along with as well.
John W. Little@mmasnick A lot of them are folks who have built large followings and a bit of a cult of personality. They see migration as a direct threat to that. They are far more concerned about their influencer status than the issues they claim to support.
@john i'd built a decent following there... and I don't much care. But perhaps I'm weird.
@mmasnick Same. I do care about parts of my network that I won't be reaching as quickly or as often (primarily the global government accounts that won't migrate immediately) but not about about any perceived influencer status.
