When I stopped being active at Twitter, I had more than 45,000 followers and a moderate amount of engagement (replies, retweets, etc.).
I have a third fewer followers here, and at least 10 times the genuine engagement. Sure, some bots, but most of it is genuine -- and useful.
I no longer see what (some) people I respect are saying publicly. I miss their thoughts, and wish they'd recognize that by staying active there they are supporting a dangerous extremist.
They feel trapped. They're not.

@dangillmor I had over 10,000 followers there, I have fewer than 1,000 here. I have more engagement AND fewer shouting matches here.
The people who are still active on #Xitter know that they are enabling the fascist-curious #oligarch who is rooting for civil war to end democracy. They just don't mind that as much as they are afraid of losing their large follower counts. They are #complicit.

@charvaka @dangillmor What they also do is sharing Harris and Walz content that fascists want to see disappear on Twitter.
