I created a Mastodon account yesterday before I even knew about this and it was surprisingly easy and user-friendly. The big thing it's missing, for me, is a way to find the Mastodon accounts for people you follow on Twitter. If more of the AI/ML community switched to Mastodon, I wouldn't have any need for Twitter.

I don’t have a problem for myself, but many non tech folks I know were not going to move over and I like to have a mix of folks I follow.

had you done this before the API was closed you'd have had access to a bunch of tools that let you find twitter users on mastodon

There used to be tools for this but they went by the wayside with the Twitter api changes.
