As I start with Mastodon, there's a weird feeling to be in a social network with almost no follower. It's like Twitter is a bar where many people know me, and entering a new bar where nobody sees me. It will take some time to build a social graph here.

Also what matters most is not the number of followers, but rather the quality of the interactions and of the discourse. My goal is that if Twitter shuts down (slowly or suddenly), I'll have a second online home and won't feel "homeless online".
