I've been thinking about this the last few days after someone pointed out he gets a lot more engagement on Bluesky.

One thing I still think not all people account for is that as far as I can see:

- followers on "older" accounts on Twitter probably includes a lot of accounts that will not create activity, either because they have been outright abandoned or because they are used read only (this last effect is probably amplified because twitter now demand people to be logged in to see replies).

- I'll also suggest that it is reasonable to think that the most enthusiastic part of the userbase will be the first ones to join a new platform

Right, that's the point, follower counts on Twitter aren't meaningful anymore because it's a deprecated old platform with all the cruft of a long history of abandoned accounts, forgotten bots, spam accounts, etc.
