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 You should, if you haven't already, invited them to join us. I bet they'd be happier here than there.

@dangillmor That is sad, really that they would rather support a fascist pig than to be with real human beings. My condolences to you on your loss, I think?
