> I'm also seeing authors, actors, journalists, doctors, and scientists I follow make their way over, as well as a few novelty accounts.

Are you seeing your mom and dad moving over? Or your teenage kid and her friends? Or your non-tech friends?

I'm about 40 and I don't know anyone whose mom or dad is on Twitter. They're all on Facebook still.

Teenagers and even 20-somethings are already a lost cause for Twitter. They're on TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, etc.

And yes, I'm seeing artists, writers, and other non-tech people moving over and finding instances that better suit them.

My friends who consume Twitter as a passive way to be entertained by celebrities aren't moving yet. I'm not sitting here trying to say that Mastodon is a drop-in replacement for Twitter for everybody. But I am surprised and encouraged by how easy it has been for me and many others to find a better experience.

No, but they weren’t the first ones on Twitter, either.

Would you see it if they did? Finding people isn't as easy on Mastodon as it is in other places.
