I’m pessimistic that this will actually change much, or drive users to Mastodon. Just like, as much as I’ve been loving my time with Kbin/Lemmy, I don’t think people are ever going to leave Reddit. Most people appear to have a way, WAY higher bullshit tolerance than I do. It’s sad. The old guard are unusable, and the new options are withering on the vine.
I totally agree on reddit, they will replace the mods and life will go on over there. But twitters appeal was the big audience, no? Lots of public service announcements, service status updates and public statements are posted there, tweets are often linked in newspapers etc.
All of that makes way less sense when tweets are not publicly available.
