Threads is surging, but mass migration from Twitter is likely to remain an uphill battle
Migrations are driven by network effects: the value of a new platform depends on who else is there.
In early stages, people have to coordinate with each other to encourage contribution on the new platform, which is really hard to do.
Any migration is likely to face content loss, fragmented communities, broken social networks and shifted community norms.
