Looks like there might be yet another mass-migration wave from Twitter to Mastodon on the way...

Twitter to Mastodon

Mastodon isn't the only federated micro-blogging platform..

@Epsilon It's not, but it's the one many first-time Fediverse users coming across from Twitter end up on. (Much like how many users coming across from Reddit end up on Lemmy first.)

Then the jump from Mastodon to Calckey/Pleroma/Frienica/Pixelfed/etc in many cases comes later.

@ajsadauskas @technology Good stuff. 🎉 Looking forward to welcoming them.

@ajsadauskas @technology I dunno, seems like more of a thought bubble that will get retracted quickly if it ever gets deployed.

It does seem like it would be the death knell for twitter if it was though

@[email protected] @[email protected] Still, those who remain until the end will remain.

@kotaro @ajsadauskas @technology And they'll stupidly give up more of their personal information via "verification" and watch as it'll get hacked by some teen hacking group...
