Not me, but my dad.
The only reason he stays is because of the politicians and news outlets he follows. He knows Twitter is trash now, but if that’s where the people he’s following are staying, then he stays too. He has heard of Mastodon and looked into it, but it’s unfortunate most politicians won’t migrate over there.
Which is kind of ridiculous. I mean sure a politician is going to still post on twitter because there's more people there, but they could simply copy and paste their statements to Mastodon. They pretty much all have staff and they could reach a different audience for the time it would take to copy and paste some text.
