It’s so annoying. The people I follow keep complaining about musk. Their followers keep telling them to move to Mastodon. But they don’t. What are they scared of? They’ll lose followers? Because I’m pretty sure if they switch and put a link on their twitter, a lot will follow.

- Almost no one I follow on twitter is on those other sites
- Almost no one of the people that follow me are on those other sites

For my use case (browsing art and comics, mainly japanese), Mastodon’s actually proving to be a worthy substitute. Some of the people I follow have already moved to it and Misskey
Most haven’t yet, but the tight-knit feel it has now isn’t too bad.
I post on both, but mainly browse Mastodon and encourage others to do the same.

Want to share a couple of the Japanese art ones? I’d like to have something like that in my feed

In my case it’s not so much the people I follow but the people that follow me. I post my photography there and have over 1600 followers when as on instagram I only got 33. I don’t really benefit anything from my following but it’s nice to post my pictures online when people actually see them too.

Well that needs to change now doesn’t it?

Yeah, but you can’t make them move, can you. People are like birds flocking, they want their communities, and until people start to move organically they won’t go. You can talk to them all you like about how it’s better and how it’s not scary, but nobody’s going to go anywhere that doesn’t have the content they want.

I came here early in the reddit migration. The content I wanted was there, but I understood that new content would be created here with time.That proved to be completely true. The amount of content has absolutely exploded in a short time and it's still growing.
It was worth the risk to use something that both reflects my value system and does not support those that actively behave in ways I find deplorable. I'd rather not engage in social media at all than support any of those monsters. I never used x/twitter. I left Facebook years and years ago, but was never a huge fan anyway. But, make no mistake, I really loved reddit. I adored it. It was my favorite place on the internet for a third of my life. But spez ruined it by mistreating people. It hurt to leave, but I had no other option.
I think the lack of content is an excuse. I think, if you haven't left by now, you just don't really care - especially if you are aware of alternatives. You probably don't want to have to care either.
