    A lot of these people are utterly hopeless. I went into a really bad argument with a fellow creator for daring to suggest them to at least try the fediverse, even after Twitter nazis harassed them.

    One another issue is the paid blue checkmark’s effect on making one invest even more into the platform, which is needed to avoid your reach being completely borked.

    Meamwhile I completely discontinued my engine’s own account there in favor of a Mastodon account ( @PixelPerfectEngine ), and I only visit Twitter for the few creators that didn’t make the jump.

      I’m mostly shocked they’ve had their own instance sinxe 2017. You aren’t goinf to get people who are on socials to make money to move here until it reaches a certain saturation point. Even then, unless theres a way to monetize the views that whole influencer culture won’t come here. Maybe thats a good thing, I dont want monetization here.
