@Gargron @anaisfae given that's the first time I've seen a commenter like that on Mastodon, is this something I've just missed obliviously, or a sign of who is migrating over from the Twitter armagedderp?

@Gargron what threshold constitutes "a while"?

@dansup Meta hiring staff Twitter in all likelihood dumped in their various purges, is largely defensible as almost all states are "at will" and quite a few (including California where most Meta and Twitter staff are HQ's) do not enforce non-competes.

Good luck with that one, Elon.

@dansup if I import my account later this week I will triple that number.

@dansup none of this stuff needs to exist. But just like any artistic/itch to scratch endeavor, people do things for other reasons than a Maslowian "need"

@dansup what types of users are being sought?

@Gargron I'm not 100% on board here; I see this as much an opportunistic move to siphon Twitter down, nip Blue Sky AND possibly attempt (however stupidly) to try the user capture they did when they supported then didn't XMPP.

But maybe I'm just paranoid.
