And yet plenty of people are still there on twitter. There have been plenty of reasons to leave and some have (Mastodon is now up over 11M users) I count myself as one of those leavers. But so far there hasn't been a mass exodus, there have been several small exoduses. When you boil the frog slowly it tends to stay in the pot: that seems like what we're observing at twitter. The degradation has been slow enough that most users are ok with it, at least so far.

>When you boil the frog slowly it tends to stay in the pot: that seems like what we're observing at twitter. This isn't true: according to sources I've read, attempting to slowly boil a frog will result in the frog jumping out of the pot. Frogs aren't that stupid, though humans apparently are. This analogy is insulting to frogs. We should just change it to "When you boil the human slowly it tends to stay in the pot."
