I signed up just to follow elonjet. The reality is a large portion of people will sign up, check it a few times and then just continue to use Twitter.

Lots of the people proclaiming they are leaving Twitter for Mastodon didn't even last a week before they were posting on Twitter again.

Never count on your fellow man to have a strong constitution.

It is a bit sad seeing millions of users behave like that. But on the positive side it serves as an effective signal for muting.
