   I go back and forth about cutting. I usually look at the person is active on Threads, Bluesky, or Twitter. If they are, I usually cut them (I am on an instance not federating with Threads at the moment). Most people don't have time to do what I do. I found the biggest drop offs were academics and journalists. Most went to Bluesky or returned to Twitter. I think the need to replicate networks is vital to both. But some inactive account do pop back to life sometimes!

     In moving accounts last night, it's striking how many of my followers/follows were totally inactive. I cut my follow list in half last night, but not because I was looking to get rid of anybody: I just didn't see much point in following accounts that posted three times eighteen months ago and haven't since.

     The Mastodon drop off was real, ya'll.
