A lot of people who don't like Musk would like to use a different platform, and there's increasing concern that Twitter goes under now. But I don't think anyone is actually leaving. They are addicted to Twitter, and everybody seems to complain that Mastodon is hard to use, even the more tech savvy.

I can only speak for myself, obviously, but I’ve left. I was definitely over using Twitter before.

I’ve had really no trouble at all with it? There’s an upfront decision about which server to use, but, that’s a social decision, not really a technical one. After that decision I’ve had no trouble at all

I left, too. I don't really like social media, but I had just found the right mix of stupid but funny accounts to follow. I was checking Twitter every day. But I deactivated my account the day after the deal went through. I'd rather move on than patronize something owned by Musk.

I don’t understand why people think Mastodon is difficult. It seems pretty straightforward, and the separate servers are no biggie. I’m enjoying this fresh start here, like moving to a new apartment!
