I just don’t see another platform for people to move off to en masse. I don’t think it’s Mastodon.
I do think there’s a big opening for a competitor to enter, but Twitter has incredible inertia.
The best play would be to pay the top 10 Twitterers to move over to some new platform exclusively. Drag a mass of people with them to prime the siphon. That’s not cheap, but possible. Maybe some other billionaire will find it just to troll musk.
I think we’re (us humans) stuck with Twitter and Elon for a long time still.
