scytale@lemm.ee 2 months agoYeah it really actually only takes a couple of big users moving to Mastodon to cause a domino effect of a mass migration. I hope more people with tons of followers start moving over.

The problem is that people won’t move until their audience there and their audience won’t move until they are there.
And mastodon is a bit less straightforward compared to old Twitter.

Mastodon is also somewhat hostile towards new users. Significant swaths of it treat this shared public network as a small private chatroom, and get cranky when September stretches on too long.

Of course this is anecdotal but I haven’t seen that - most of the disdain I’ve seen is towards new instance admins who don’t take proper steps to moderate stuff or prevent spammy signups.

Yeah, but some people are more willing to move onto a smaller platform. Like us. In practice, as long as one more person becomes willing per person who makes the change it works out to compounding percentage growth, which is good because the internet itself would never have taken off otherwise.
