The Twitter migration to Mastodon will be short-lived, sadly. People see Post as the new shiny already. One silo to another. Sigh...

  I've noticed a marked uptick in traffic on my Twitter feed over the last week or so. A couple of weeks ago my feed was a ghost town. I haven't followed anyone new, so this traffic is coming from people who stopped posting for a bit and then returned. Some of them I know are crossposting from mastodon, but not all of them.

    Could also be something behind the scenes failing at Twitter, I saw tons of horror stories in recent weeks that people found faded out friends on Twitter, who were in fact actively posting but somehow masked out of timeline and search.

      Perhaps, but before everyone disappeared there were plenty of "goodbye, cruel world" type posts. I think some of it is just that people saw the whole thing didn't implode and either got back to using it and/or didn't like the alternatives much. Personally have been splitting time between Twitter & Mastodon, although using Twitter more. Mastodon has a higher percentage of my high quality follows but a lot of them either dont post much there or are crossposting to Twitter anyways. And I prefer Twitter the application a heckuva lot more than Mastodon.
