I follow mostly techies, very few went to mastodon, and among them were none of the ones I cared about.
Seems like the people doing the most things in my field have no time for drama and are busy doing stuff, while the ones that actually accomplish little have the time and energy for this.

I made my exit very quietly because I didn't have time for the drama of a petulant tyrant. I care that the tech I consume is open source or at the very least is guided by some principal of any good kind.
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoSure. People spent months and a tremendous amount of energy discussing the state of a site that is a glorified animated wall of text, but it's not drama. Sometimes I wish I could teleport this community to were I lived in Mali and force you to stay there for 6 months to re-calibrate your sense of what's important.
- Ygor 4y agoMost people didn't. Some small group of people spent tremendous amount of energy. I think both of you agree on that point.
- mjmsmith 4y agoSame thing with iOS devs, everyone I followed on Twitter is now on Mastodon.
- danjac 4y agoMost of the Python developers I followed are on Mastodon. "Techies" has lots of sub-cultures, so it could be C# or React developers are stuck on Twitter, for example, so if you are in those groups it might seem nobody has left.
