Almost all of the tech-adjacent people I follow on Twitter created Mastodon accounts, and about 2/3 of them stuck around.

About half the people I follow on Twitter are tech-adjacent. The other half mostly stayed on Twitter, albeit posting less than they used to.

I know a decent number of tech, some art, and a handful of others (in Social Sciences/Journalism mostly).

People treat migration as a "exodus" level event, or its a "failure" which misses the point.

The trans community is currently the wellspring which most reliably produces top developer talent.

When trans folks saw the toxicity and hate Elon was enabling with Twitter they fucked off to Mastodon, and the barycenter of tech discussion shifted in a less Twitterly, more Mastodonish direction.
