I moved to Mastodon almost 6 years ago, but I didn't close Twitter. It's amazing that in the professional world, some people still raise an eyebrow if you don't have a Twitter account. It's better to have a dormant one, than none at all in my experience. After 6 years, my Mastodon account has fewer followers than my Twitter inactive one. It shows that Mastodon is smaller, less active and (if you filter out bots and spam) you start to recognise most of the active people. It's like a small town. But with the passing years, I start to see that as an advantage. It's less stressful, there's not as much FOMO. I'm currently in the process of setting up a small instance just for close friends and leave behind the mind-numbing daily drama of planetary social media for good.
