X terms of service has right to take back username. X ported his followers over to new account at least, he said. Vaught is still using X, though he did set up account on Threads and Mastodon.

    You want to know something that’s really amazing? This is 100% true, too. I’m not even kidding:

    None of that matters.

          That’s what the agument essentially boils down. I’m having a good time there but people still keep telling me I should leave. Personally I encounter significantly more toxic behaviour on Lemmy compared to Twitter. I’m still here too.

            I’m just saying all the things you listed don’t matter in the long run. Unless you can specifically name the people you follow or follow you and all the other things you mentioned, its not important and can be easily replaced.

              Yeah I’m sorry but that’s just not true. Mastodon has 7 million users and Twitter has 400 million. It took me a literal decade to build the following I now have on twitter. That’s not easy to replace and frankly I don’t even see why I should.

                You yourself just said that almost all the people you follow and almost all the people who follow you on Twitter are also on Mastodon. That being true, there’s no difference if you want to use federated services instead. But you should hike your own hike. If Twitter is your jam, enjoy it.

                    It happens. If nothing else, we understand why you want to stay active on both services.

                    Honest question: Have you thought about what to do when Elon notices your corner of Twitter (or when it finally collapses and is shut down)?
