People that are still on xitter today are mostly terminally online people that doesn't have a social circle outside of their xitter circle. Yea Mastodon feels like early day Twitter with lots of people just replying to what they found while exploring shit. However, it won't reach critical mass if the influencers don't move to it. Part of the reason Twitter got big in the first place is you can see lots of celebrities being candid there. I remember Hamilton's meltdown on Twitter because he didn't see his teammate in his follower list.
