Just delete your account already and move on. Nothing of value is produced there anymore.

I wish this were true for me, but many of the voice actors and content creators I pay attention to have yet to move elsewhere.

I think there is a term for this. The (insert name here) effect. You won't leave because they're there. They won't leave because their audience is there.

You have less incentive to stay, really. What are you afraid of missing out on?

Maybe if you left they wouldn’t have a fanbase keeping them ties down to that shit service.

Unfortunately, nobody's gonna switch just because one person left unless it's a big influencer (which I am not). It'd take multiple people collectively leaving, and that's not gonna happen without something big. Fortunately, Twitter's current owner is, well... he'll likely cause that "something big" all on his own. Like how Reddit's API thing caused Lemmy to grow in size overnight.

When it does happen, I've already got accounts setup on a couple different places from the last time I thought the Great Twitter Exodus was finally happening.
