      Dril is one of the most influential meme accounts on twitter, “generally a recognizable type: a self-important buffoon who’s often raging out (show yourself, coward), or other times preening (buddy, they won’t even let me), over some bit of nonsense that we’re all meant to realize is absurdly unimportant.” Wikipedia

      The character (ostensibly not the actual person behind the account) is exactly the archetype of a user who would stay on current twitter.

    If Dril chose BlueSky, is that the equivalent of porn companies siding with VHS etc? Like, does that effectively end the BSky vs Mastodon war?

      Mastodon still has the Star Trek dads, retired bloomscrolling posters, retrocomputing hobbyists, very earnest preachers/tubthumpers and those too autistic to have a concept of clout. As long as there’s a critical mass to sustain this self-contained rhizome of communities, it’ll quietly keep going.

      Well, Twitter already lost most of the porn when they changed their terms of service so they could train AI on everything you post.
