 Do people still leave Twitter to come here? 
 the other way, if anything 
 I think the people who are still on Twitter are exactly where they should be.  
 Good point  
 I think it's fairer to say that many aren't even aware of the possibility that this exists.  
 I hope so, it's SO toxic 
 I still have my twatter account. I've only used it about 3 times since September, to try to get my people to join me here. So far, it's only two of them, but it's two more than I expected. Unfortunately, even though they're using nostr, it looks like they both still use the bird site. The algo can really be hard to unchain from. 

I can see how it's less work to stay there than to commit fully to the decentralized space here, where onboarding is confusing at best, and getting anything done really convoluted at worst. 

Thankfully, most experienced users here are welcoming to new people... at least, for the first couple of days. Then you're on your own.
