My team at work just launched new research on the #TwitterMigration: We analyze which platforms are growing - especially #Mastodon, #Tumblr & #Post.

We look at which sites users are adding to their Twitter bios, posting to their friends about & downloading apps for.

Please do boost this, and love to hear any comments or feedback on it!

@tchambers useful, thanks. On Post, I'm surprised you didn't mention their intentioal choice to exclude disabled users initially by not worrying about accessibility. And good choice on the images, almost all white guys, it very effectively conveys the racial disparities here even though you don't mention it in the text!

@jdp23 @tchambers the fact a major owner of Post is a VC who is buddies with Musk and also part owner of musks Twitter having helped with musks purchase of Twitter to the tune of 400 million…well it gives me less confidence in post

Too few people are aware of this. I spend a lot of time on Twitter rising awareness about it, but it feels a bit like trying to empty the ocean with a colander.
Sometimes I wonder what would happen, moderation-wise, if people on Post started writing posts about this and on why people should move to Mastodon.

@oblomov @voron @tchambers it'd certainly be an interesting experiment!
