      For some people, it’s because not enough of a particular community has moved… somehow

      Some academic / research / medical communities for example. For others it’s the journalists that have yet to move

      Because there’s no viable replacement.

      Before you or someone else mentions Mastodon (and probably compare it to the Reddit migration to Lemmy; I’ve been through this conversation before): Both Twitter and Mastodon are built on the concept of following people. If those people don’t migrate to another platform, then the people following them won’t migrate, either.

      But Reddit and Lemmy are built on the concept of following ideas. It doesn’t matter if one person who, for example, enjoys anime, only stays on Reddit. Others who who enjoy anime may move to Lemmy and become part of one or more of the anime communities on Lemmy instead.

      Basically, the comparison isn’t 1-to-1.

      Porn. The porn side of Twitter is still intact and really quite… okay I was gonna say “wholesome” but maybe I should say “holesome”? Ehh? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

      …anyway.

      That said, a lot of adult content creators have been creating accounts on bsky once they get invites. If bsky opens up more there could actually be an exodus.

        Only three of my Twitter porn creators are on bs so far (out of ~100), but one of those is very… important (?) to me. He’s a lanky tall hung uncut sub and nudist. Whenever I check Twitter, I’d always go to his page first.

        We only need a few creators like that to tip the scale heavily, imo. Good content, large audience, regular updates, just nudging their viewers a bit.

        And still too many artists instead of pages like deviantart, artstation or pixiv.
        vTubers of various agencies and indied also using it as a main communication platform. Youtube communities usually as a 2nd platform.

      I figure most don’t know where else to shit post. I personally can’t think of a Twitter alternative of the top of my head. Note I’m a hermit.
