    Twitter to Mastodon

    Mastodon isn’t the only federated micro-blogging platform…

      @Epsilon It’s not, but it’s the one many first-time Fediverse users coming across from Twitter end up on. (Much like how many users coming across from Reddit end up on Lemmy first.)

      Then the jump from Mastodon to Calckey/Pleroma/Frienica/Pixelfed/etc in many cases comes later.

        but it’s the one many first-time Fediverse users coming across from Twitter end up on.

        That’s because it’s the only one ppl will mention as an alternative. Stop telling ppl to try mastodon, tell them to try firefish or akkoma.

        Also, the jump effect is way overstated. Some users do end up moving to other software, but many more just leave because they don’t like mastodon.
