On a similar note: I think it's also a mistake that a mass Twitter exodus to Mastodon would actually benefit that platform. Smallish waves, sure. An overwhelming influx of users? Please no. Anyone who has experienced a tiny forum (or subreddit, or whatever) going viral knows what I'm talking about. Most of the time that experience at the very least transforms the existing local subculture for the worse, and sometimes outright destroys it. If everyone on current-day Twitter would move to Mastodon at once it would turn into current-day Twitter. Which is not why I'm on Mastodon. EDIT: can whomever downvoted this tell me what exactly they disagree with here?
