if the trajectory that twitter is on under musk continues, it will inevitably become a liability. the real question is: do we jump now hoping that we can build community elsewhere, or do we hold on and milk what's left of twitter until it becomes untenable?
i have 500 followers on mastodon and 3500 on twitter and get more actual interaction and 'engagement' on mastodon. while that's not rigorous data, it implies strongly to me that, in the tech sphere, we are seeing a shift. people have twitter accounts, but they use mastodon accounts.

Interesting observation! Thanks for sharing.
