There are still people who are happy enough on Twitter for now, but who might want to share an interesting post from mastodon.social. Not everyone is the comically exaggerated caricature you have in your head, most people are just normal users that want to tweet things to their friends.

If you built up an audience on twitter, it seems obvious when you want to leave, that you want to take your audience with you.

So others know where to find you - there's a bunch of tools for that, but unless you use the same one it doesn't work. Can't think of a more efficient way personally. Though I don't think anyone needs to be obnoxious about it with series of tweets and stuff.

why can't I post links to my mastodon.social posts then? (I'm on Twitter, and I've been in Mastodon for many years -- this hasn't been the case before).

Can you post links to mastodon.social on Twitter?

If you change your address, it makes sense to share your new address with contacts? If you change cell provider because they suck you probably would give your new phone number to your contacts. How is this not 100% obvious to you?

Because most of the tech sphere is all in when it comes to rooting for a certain political side and for its associated worldview, some call it “liberal” but is anything but. They deserve everything that is coming their way, after 2+ years of those people banning and cancelling other people and stuff based on “science!” and the like (I’m triple vaccinated, adding this because it needs to be added, as that’s the level of discourse we’ve got to in the West in the last few years).
