Bit of a self fulfilling prophecy there
Gotta get people on it in order to have people on it. Doesn't happen overnight. A handful of people I followed elsewhere have now moved to Mastodon, but it took some time for that to happen
Yep. "Slowly, then all at once".
Personally, I think once the journalists and news orgs (finally) get on board, that will inspire government agencies to make the change, and that will be the true tipping point away from ๐.
Journos don't lead, they follow. While ostensibly they're on Twitter to promote their articles, in practice they're there to follow politicians and keep an eye on trending hashtags.
Something buzzworthy needs to happen on the Fediverse first.
