I think mass migration of people from Twitter to Mastodon is unlikely, but I do have some hope that specific communities will be able to make the switch. For instance, just yesterday I set up a new instance -- which was incredibly easy thanks to masto.host, literally two clicks and a config change on Namecheap -- that can hopefully become a space for people interested in AI to move to from Twitter (in case you are curious, it's https://sigmoid.social/ https://sigmoid.social/). Here's my rationale: Twitter is kind of invaluable if you are an academic working in AI (and in many other fields as far as I can tell), it's a great way to discover new work as well as promote your own (and yeah there is silly drama sometimes, but it's rare). Many academics genuinely love it, including myself. Those same academics generally loathe or at least dislike Musk, and worry about the future of the platform, and don't care that much about non AI stuff on there. So if just the part of Twitter you care about it migrates to a Mastodon instance, such academics would likely consider it. And if you are a person or entity with a decent following on Twitter, it does seem feasible to encourage the community to at least try to move over. Maybe, maybe not, but I figure it's worth a try (I am planning to announce it on Twitter later this week).
