The idea of rebuilding an audience from scratch without the baggage of thousands of followers including most of my management chain at work sounds pretty fun.

It's also weird that simply being in another Mastodon has made Twitter feel less necessary. I didn't feel that way using Instagram after Facebook or Snapchat & TikTok post-Instagram.

I can see why certain folks felt threatened by the competition.

PS: If you followed me on the other site, what type of tweets made you do so?

Also, even if you're not there substantively anymore, a good time to rerun Fedifinder (or similar tools) to see how many folks have transitioned since you last checked, since those tools will likely be *much* harder to use reliably very soon https://fedifinder.glitch.me/

This is such an obvious point but it is so funny to me that Elon's free-speech crusade on Twitter lasted all of six weeks before he started indiscriminately banning reporters. Like what an all-time hilarious business story

WOW. Elon Musk's Twitter straight-up banned the account for Mastodon. Just, wow.

The only parallel I've ever seen to Twitter's current self-destruction was the Digg 4.0 fiasco.

At one time Digg had ~450 million users. Then they tried to push an extremely unpopular update that caused users to leave en masse.

Where did they go? Reddit.

And now Reddit is one of the biggest social media sites on the planet.

By the way, a whole lot of Internet users have forgotten about Digg -- or don't even know it existed.

Twitter could be Digg but on a much larger scale.
