I honestly think it sure will. People will probably go in 3 directions:

  • Mastodon
  • Wait for Bluesky
  • Wait for Instagram "Threads"

Honestly, if people go fediverse way, they definitely should choose something like Misskey/Calckey. They're much better options than mastodon IMO

I think the issue with the Twitter->Mastodon conversion is that this style of social media is about following people and therefore people will stay where the people they want to follow are. So it becomes a bit of a difficult situation where people won't move as a person they want to keep in touch with won't move which means more people won't move.

Reddit->Lemmy likely won't have the same problem as this style is about following content rather than people.
