But they'll only MOVE when they hit the Trust Thermocline. The point where their lack of trust in the product to meet their needs, and the emotional investment they'd made in it, have finally been outweighed by the physical and emotional effort required to abandon it.

At this point, I normally get asked something like: "So if we undo the last few changes and drop the price, we get them back?" And then I have to break the news that nope: that's not how it works. Because you're past the Thermocline now. You can't make them trust you again.

Over 1 million people have joined Mastodon since October 27. Between that and those who returned to their old accounts, the number of active users has risen to over 1.6 million today, which, for context, is over 3 times what it was just about two weeks ago!

so... I know when a new low is occurring at Twitter when the Mastodon new user count suddenly spikes. In the last few hours it has completely blown past all previous hourly records... time to get your lifeboat ready, if you haven't yet. The Fediverse is holding up ok so far...

Your occasional reminder that I'm posting regularly on Mastodon, and by staying on Twitter you're hurting society & yourself. Take a deep breath, & give the Fediverse a chance. No, it's not the same, & not everyone is there yet. But many are. Join us! techdirt.com/2023/01/04/jou…

natematias.medium.com/how-twitter-mi… This is a great article - for those who have largely left already, but are checking in occasionally, this really drives home the importance of making sure your departure is not invisible.

Will *this* be your "I'm done" moment? You don't have to be here. Fedi is getting bigger and bigger, and many very old Netizens I respect have thoroughly made a home there. DM if you need some guidance (though I don't get alerts from Twitter anymore so it might take a minute)

your approximately monthly reminder (to fewer and fewer active people here I see.. 🤔) that you don't need to be here to connect with more people who matter. Mastodon is rapidly approaching 10 million accounts... it's livelier than ever 😊

I understand you are struggling to leave. But just know there are good people slowly helping the Fediverse grow as Twitter dies. We haven't stopped sharing and being social - and we look forward to you joining us when you are ready!

Und enttäuschend auch, dass ich auf Twitter quasi allein gezwitschert habe. Nächstes Jahr dann wohl doch auf Mastodon tröten?! 😑 #esc2023 #eurovision #mescNQKxMehV

thedailybeast.com/twitter-fails-… Your semi-regular reminder that your continued eyeballs here are helping to keep racism and homophobia in business. #Mastodon is still going strong: come join us!

.... why are you still here? You are now complicit. This is active acceptance of the agenda to erase trans people. Enough. Leave. It will hurt, but it will be so much better for your mental health to break free of this now terrible place.

c.im/@shansterable/… It should be pretty clear by now: whether you want to or not, you have to find a new bar. I'm loving how I can now follow & post from "Twitter" to threads on "Reddit" 😉 #Mastodon #Fediverse #Threadiverse #Rexxit

For the first (and likely last) time, I'm posting a toot from Mastodon on Twitter, instead of the inverse, b/c it highlights a growing problem. Giving content to this site puts $$$ in the pockets of neo-Nazis. Staying here is a choice w/ consequences. mastodon.lawprofs.org/@flexghost@mas…

We're still over at Mastodon, generally having a great time, avoiding being pawns and funding fascists. You might think if you aren't paying here if you aren't a blue check - but you're still paying with your engagement.

Probably the best and most compelling post I've seen about why #Mastodon is the place to be - from a witty sex blogger, with some absolutely charming turns of phrase. girlonthenet.com/blog/mastodon/

so.... is *this* the wave you are finally going to catch to surf on out of here? (I only come here now when I see a new wave in the #Fediverse numbers...) There's so much more than #Mastodon now, too. Big part of my feed coming from one former Reddit sub on Lemmy/kbin 😉 #Xit
