A lot of sites have weight. Twitter sheds users every day but the large user count makes it attractive to public figures and if you want to follow that public figure you need to have twitter.
My point is, it's becoming unethical for public figures and their followers to remain on the platform.
That's why the more prominent the public figure is, the bigger ethical obligation they have to switch to Mastodon and force their followers to follow.
Cue a flood of Swifties when Taylor finds out about Mastodon.
Yeah but to me it's insane that public people that have publicists or companies that have communications staff simply don't cross post to multiple sites.
Sure for a regular person that's a lot of work to do when just posting a random thought. But for someone who's job involves posting things to social media? Most of the work is coming up with the copy. Once that's done it's just copying and pasting to different sites.
