A lot of migration is fuelled by Musk firing XX% of Twitter's workforce, and several competent people (former SREs at big tech corps, systems engineers) posting threads that predict huge technical issues in the near future.
Some also just leave because they don't like Musk, sure. Personally I'm happy to have an alternative that's somewhat decentralized, where I can pack up and move while keeping my whole network if I don't like how such or such sysadmin behaves.

I'm always happy with alternatives, especially FOSS ones and I like what the community has created too. It's just that, I'd have been happier if people moved to Mastodon for its ideas on decentralization and tech instead of Elon Musk.
