I can’t believe Elon Musk banned for tweeting this 😵‍💫 #twitter #elonmusk #twittermigaration #twitterexodus #tech #technews #journalist
@taylorlorenz why are you and other journalists still on Twitter?
@frank_bough @taylorlorenz Twitter is still a platform with 500 million users. Sure, Mastodon needs to grow but people still go on Twitter for news and information.
@91toph @frank_bough @taylorlorenz Point…it is a big challenge to migrate that many people to new platform in a short period. It took years to grow Twitter and I am sure the servers at Mastodon would crumble if everyone jumped all at once.
@cjt @frank_bough @taylorlorenz also migrating alot of people from Twitter to Mastodon would require Mastodon to also be attractive to advertisers, something that Mastodon doesn't have the infrastructure, staff and policy to implement.
@91toph @cjt @frank_bough @taylorlorenz why would it require that? I've never met a person who said they used a social media platform because they like/want the ads. It'd need funding, but in particular curated ads were a mistake that unfortunately was loved by advertisers and the rich (and not enough others cared)
@cjt @91toph @frank_bough @taylorlorenz No one can "migrate that many people" from twitter to mastodon. Everyone has to do it individually. Migrating yourself is not that big of a deal though. It's rather that content creators stay on twitter "because that's were people are" & people stay on twitter "because that's were content creators are"... It's just inertia. Someone has to start & as always that responsibility to change rests on each & every one of us individually! There is no excuse! 😉
@kjuh @91toph @frank_bough @taylorlorenz I misused the word “migrate.” I meant the movement is mass accounts…but yes, all true and good points.
