For you, yes, but not for other people which is the whole point. The fact that Mastodon couldn't truly ride the biggest opportunity they will ever have says it all.

What do you mean? Mastodon rode it quite well to the point that servers were straining under the load.

Twitter still exists and is still functional, so why would absolutely everyone move over? I don't think that's ever happened. Every system I've seen where people migrated over elsewhere had it happen over a long period of time.
