I wish I had the foresight in 2022 to make this, but an idea occured to me today.
A website tentatively called X-odus.
How it works:
Create an account
Log in with at least one Twitter (or X as jerk-offs call it) to prove Twitter account ownership
Create a dedicated page with your old Twitter username, so folks could find your new posting platforms (Fedi, BlueSky, your personal website).
X-odus accounts would have a 1:many relationship with old Twitter accounts.
When someone wants to find someone they once knew on Twitter, they would just go to $domain/$oldUsername and be presented with the new places to find them.
I dunno if the horses are already out of the barn, or if it'd be worth building now?
