If my contacts want to meet at the bar that used to be fun, but is now full of racists and nazis instead of just have one or two wander in occasionall before getting kicked out, they can meet there without me.
It doesn’t matter how good the new platforms are if the people you follow aren’t there. I do all my posting on Mastodon now but when it comes to people I follow on Twitter virtually none of them have moved their stuff over so I run out of interesting things to check out quickly
If i had to guess, habit.
If someone’s used to doing something everyday they’re gonna trend towards repeating what’s already engrained into their routine because the familiar shit-show is still more comfortable than the unfamiliar but more enjoyable platforms/habits, whatever they may be

It’s easy to switch platforms. It’s a lot harder to get all your contacts to switch platforms.

Well one new bar that I heard is really good is invite-only and the other is confusing for less bar-savvy friends to get to and use
I’m not an active Twitter user, I’m just imagining the transition pains when the discord servers I use slowly start to migrate somewhere else
It’s not particularly difficult to get rid of a contact.
Harder than dealing with being a tool for elon?
If everyone stopped using services run by greedy assholes, we wouldn’t use technology at all lol
