My recommendation is that CS try to mimic Twitter as much as possible, to make it easier and more comfortable for twitter users to migrate over and be 100% engaged - esp since Elon is erratic and trigger-happy. Make it a smooth transition, then implement changes/improvements later. Tell everyone to create a CS account using the EXACT twitter handle, bio, etc. MAKE THIS EASY. Trust me on this:)
@CheriJacobus Maybe a little, but honestly I think many of us could benefit from a clean break and something completely different. It's not that hard, I was overwhelmed for a couple days, now I'm fine.

I had 29K followers and block list of 15K over there. The vast majority were lurkers. That competitive need for huge numbers is ludicrous. Who can interact with 29K people? I’m thrilled when former followers trickle into CoSo. The LAST thing I want is high numbers. This isn’t high school. Please don’t turn it into one.

And WHY do you think we need massive numbers to migrate over? Massive numbers already have, and it has changed the vibe in here.
Sometimes not for the better, either.
The emphasis here is not on the number of followers. It's about conversations and talking to people. There is no algorithm. No trending topics. We like it like that. Most of us don't care about the # of followers.

Some still do. They don’t realize they are giving themselves away.
"they need a massive number of twitter users to migrate over. That is paramount. "
That isn't going to happen. It takes a ton of money and a bunch of staff to handle that kind of load. People need to be realistic.
@CheriJacobus I dunno, they’ve been going 5 years. Don’t really need to grow that quickly if it ruins the ambiance.
@CheriJacobus @foxtrax1 Why do they "need" a massive number of Twitter users to migrate over?
