Mastodon is too difficult to understand for the average user. I got on some page where I needed to select a room of some sort, most of it was in german and I couldn't find Trump or anybody I wanted to listen to. Is anybody actually believing that there will be some mass migration?

There's been numerous mass migrations to Mastodon since 2016, from different individual communities. The furry community, lgbtq+ individuals who wanted to leave twitter, comic book artists who overlapped with the two prior groups, political news junkies from India, and every year there's a couple more.

I don't think that all of Twitter is going to migrate but just some slice of the user base, just like all the previous times.
