  > The outrage is pretty hilarious given that less than 0.0001% of Twitter users even know what is Mastodon. No one cares that your precious Mastodon instance got filtered for a few days. No harm done. There you go. The outrage is a storm in a tea cup and Twitter has done this before in the past [0] with only techies here having a tantrum about it. It is indeed hilarious to see this manufactured outrage as people struggle to bother signing up to Mastodon as the 200M+ daily active users on Twitter still do not care to move. The moment users ask, 'which server do I sign up to? It says, sign ups are closed. Find another instance' or and when journalists realize their reach is limited because the instance they signed up on got permanently banned by other instances [1] then it isn't surprising to see why many of the 200M+ Twitter users haven't bothered to move anywhere else.
