>perceived barrier to entry
But is it really about perceived barrier to entry? People want some things and they gravitate towards the platform that provides those things to them. The vast majority of people this side of the fedi would place quality of conversation and ownership of your identity to the top of their list.
The people that prefer to use shitter might want to:
-ride the dopamine train all day
-be allowed to pile up on others without others being able to pile up on them
-have algorithimic feeds to maximize the above
-just watch the digital equivalent of TV. I mean TVrace didn't go extinct, it's just 20 centimeters away from the screen rather than 3 meters.
