@9speederailleur entirely predictable. The most predictable thing to follow any GBCW post on any platform are that there will be many posts after it and even if they do vanish, it's usually more of a vacation than a goodbye.

People shouldn't expect Mastodon to replicate the Twitter experience they're losing. Embrace the novelty of a new experience. Try a different style of discussion & give it time.

Even Twitter, vast as it is, gets stale especially as you're locked into patterned interactions by the algorithm & churn of people. It's hard to gel into a true online community.

You can be there for years, but the format forces you to constantly rehash old conversations.
