@arcanicanis @AlgorithmWolf @Flaky @mint The other elephant in the room here (har har mastodon pun) is that the fediverse is an open air containment site in the sense that nobody who isn't banned from Twitter (which you're banned for life if you are btw) sticks around.

Who sticks around on fedi? The racist anime posters. The MAGA/Q boomers. The conspiracy schizos. The cunny posters. The "safe edgy" transgender and "dirtbag left" accounts who made too many jokes like H3H3's Vatican joke or NRA jokes (see videos for what I'm talking about, he ate a suspension for the second video btw). The pedophiles. They've all been given the banhammer from Twitter, Reddit, and more. They cannot go back if they try because they will be banned for ban evasion. There's also the paranoid /g/entoomen like P, but they're just too paranoid for Twitter.

Anyone who can go back to Twitter always does because the interaction ratio is always higher, and there's a higher chance someone who craves being seen will be seen instead of competing on the patchwork of independent websites that might federate. Plus, the people you know use it and they won't be defederated.
