npub1hpcdfjpxrawnmu6ryh36ce7xu4qd54pu6xca394yhvmyzlery0tqvghjn3 (npub1hpc…hjn3) There was a surge about a week ago, wasn't there? I'm sorry, I've been on holiday so my brain is a bit fuddled, but I was sure there's been a significant surge very recently. Maybe the wave is going back out. There'll probably be another surge soon.
But I don't think direct replacement is ever going to happen. I think the environment is changing, and we're moving towards people being ever more scattered amongst a larger number of smaller platforms. Some of which will be fedi platforms, most will be corporate because, well, they have money.
However, all of this takes time. It's not realistic to expect many millions of regular Twitter users - happy Twitter users who won't move unless they're forced - to move rapidly to a platform which most of them won't have heard of until recently.
And especially not when most of them will already have accounts on at least one of Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok - all of which are vastly bigger than Twitter has ever been. Their friends are already there, in established communities. That's a much bigger draw than Mastodon can ever offer.
