The biggest loss here is that I follow a lot of artists on Twitter and when it goes kaput I won’t have easy access to follow them.

Any chance they move to the fediverse?

Probably near zero chance. Fediverse is dead empty compared to the alternatives, so not ideal if they want to reach out to their fans.

You know, that’s a bit chicken-egg, right? Like, platforms don’t magically get users, those users need a reason to want to be there.

In my personal (and therefore, limited) experience, engagement is much harder to get in the fediverse. I hope it improves, but it’s not easy to find people you don’t know in order to follow them, and vice versa.
