bit of a sanctimonious comment, fascism feels like a perfectly fair line for the early and late majorities to draw. it takes a lot of energy to move half a billion people—that doesn’t make the early exiters morally better, just better positioned and informed.
Chill. The graphic wasn’t made for this specific discussion. It’s a widely accepted way to group users of a service. In this case, the bell curve represents the adoption of something other than Twitter by Twitter users, and the driver isn’t “new thing to try” (in as much as neither federated or newer centralized microblogging platforms have much new to offer), it’s the slowly-heating pot of water that the frog is in.
…and they’re still too weak willed to do anything other than jump ship to another corporate shithole that’s sure to enshittify (Bluesky literally owes millions to Blockchain Capital). Then they yell “I’ll just move to the next big thing when that’s over!” (Nevermind that you’ve created another billionaire who will use their money to influence politics in the process) Man, these people really love the capital class just exploiting the living shit out of their lives every step of the way, don’t they? Because learning a different system that doesn’t have corporate polish is too hard. Better to just get all your data sucked up and exploited time and time again rather than choosing a non-corporate option that doesn’t involve making a small number of people obscenely rich just because you used their social media.
good job, humanity. all it took for you to finally leave twitter was literal fascism
But… my follower count! /s

LOL are you serious? “innovation adoption” wtf
it’s not “innovation” and it’s not “adoption”
it’s legit nazi propaganda, and it’s abandonment. i sincerely hope you’re just making a half ass attempt at trolling
