@juergen_hubert @Ijio I think that’s because their business is to follow the audience. When the eyeballs move, they’ll move too.

I try to understand why people stay because, in reality, I can’t see any difference between Twitter right now and Gab.

If you stay on Twitter, you’re supporting Elon Musk regardless of what you say on the platform.

@marti @Ijio Well, some subcommunities, like #BlackTwitter, are basically experiencing lots of hostility on _every_ social media platform - the #Fediverse definitely included. The successes of their community was built despite hostility from both other users and admins, so of course they are reluctant to give that up - especially since there is no clear alternative.

Still, Twitter is obviously a losing battle, getting worse by the month.
