@asklemmy What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?

People who have been paying attention have already moved. Anyone who's left will need a missile dropped directly on top of their head by Elon Musk or Steve Huffman personally. They will leave when the websites can no longer support themselves and shut down their servers, forcing the users out.

Yeah, tbh with all of what has happened on both of platforms, it's sad to still see them alive.

Hopefully, people slowly start moving across or they're some huge outage that happens in the future as it doesn't seem like many more people are willing to move across (at least from my experience).

Who knows, Threads may help the future of the Fediverse with the amount of users that could see the possibility of it across Mastodon, Lemmy and many other instances.
