    That doesn’t explain why yhey don’t start a transition by posting to both the new platform and the old. And not including links to their new account on their websites.

      Doesn’t Twitter directly suppress such links? I remember there was a crackdown on people linking their mastodon accounts a while back.

      And external links in general get a huge suppression in the algorithm because Twitter does not want to recommend tweets that take you off the site.

      The platform actively fights you if you want to move elsewhere (which should really be a telltale sign for you to move), so I get why some orgs struggle with that decision. Doubly so if your job relies on the platform’s outreach.
