I complain a lot about how #literarytwitter never migrated to Mastodon, but if you actually look back, you can find a lot of people who did create accounts in the November 2022 event—they just didn't stay. Probably because the literary community as a network didn't exist.

So that raises the question: at what point did the literary community develop on Twitter? It didn't exist ab initio, it developed over time. But that didn't happen here. Why?

Maybe it's still happening. But maybe writers, you have to love them, appreciate the ease of a prepackaged network that they could slip into, like the back of a class without being noticed until they decide to participate.

They don't want to build the classroom and the desks themselves.
