What's the quality like of the people who are still on Twitter in 2025? Does the fediverse want them? (These are real questions, I have no idea if there's still any decent people on Twitter.)

MODERATORS
Every massive influx from Twitter has brought a deluge of people I want nothing to do with in any way shape or form, and a small sprinkling of cool ones. Fortunately like 4/5ths of the crappy ones leave again, but that other 1/5th is a big number when you're talking an influx of hundreds of thousands.
There likely are (I quit Twitter over a year ago), just because it does unique coverage on many topics.
ik some good people that are still there because some of their friends are.
It is humanities responsibility to make the rest of this man’s life miserable
I mean, Mastodon is German, so they're probably moving here. The federated fork of Dorsey's Twitter is second.
"federated"
There is always that one comment saying "b-but its technically kinda federated". It doesnt fucking matter if its federated if 99.999% if all users are on one instance. The entire concept of a long lived, enshittification resistant fediverse relies entirely on being decentralized with a reasonably evenly distributed userbase. You fucking bet lemmy would already be completely worthless right now if people hadnt stopped lemmy.world from grabbing more communities and users.

Small chances for now, but let's keep growing small communities here. People need to get tired of Instagram and centralized algorithms to switch to fediverse

Might have to also let people know the Fediverse exists?
Those are rookie numbers, euros, get on that shit.
Read an interview with a youth researcher that said, he does not see a problem with the content moderation (regarding extremism) because young people are anyway not interested in the disussions on there because its only for porn...
twitter was used for Porn for most users, after the tumblr purge they all moved to twitter, or peopel curious about porn actors.
