    The problem though is that your comment/mindset, and of those like you, who just want to ignore Twitter and just do our own thing here, ignores the point of the social gathering critical mass situation.

    People talk about Twitter because they’re trying to gain intel from others about if they’re moving over or staying, so they can decide if they should stay or move over as well. They’re trying to determine the location of where everyone will gather at.

    And yes, at this point you’re going to say “oh they should move over anyway and we will just grow our content here”. Unfortunately that’s not how human minds work, we’re social creatures, and we like to gather in singular large locations when we want to interact with each other socially.

    There’s a battle being fought right now, the battle for where the social critical gathering point is located/hosted at.

    To ignore that battle, is to lose that battle.
