Fair point that I hadn't considered - currency. Twitter definitely encouraged things that aren't sought after on Mastodon, some of which I hope don't move over, for what it's worth. They can lament it, of course, and mourn it even, but it isn't fair to tell new people how to use something because "it's always been used this way," which is partially why the Fediverse was built in the first place.
