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.

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.
