I feel this way about a lot of international artists that I followed on twitter, especially Japanese artists. None of them have seemed interested in migrating elsewhere.

Yeah sure we can talk about what's better all day but ultimately twitter being no longer a place everyone uses has just severed connections permanently and that's never a good thing.

I feel like this is a symptom of an overall problem that is hitting all of humanity. Too often these days are we quick to dismiss possible alternatives. There are a billion other websites for video hosting and yet we stick to YouTube. There are a trillion other social media sites and yet people are going bluesy aka also Twitter. We have options but we as a people seem unwilling to use them and the main reason seems to be "everyone is here" rather than "that place is somehow worse than what we agreed was the default".

We gotta start being more open to alternative websites.
