No, not at all, twitter is not decentralized, with a lemmy instance, if you leave, you lose nothing at all. With twitter, you can’t take the content or your account
Comment on If you're still on Lemmy...
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 days agoIsn’t that the exact same argument for Twitter? If Twitter gets shitty, people will just leave? Because I feel like we’re not really seeing that.

Not quite accurate. If you leave an instance, you do lose any posts or comments you had. Not a big loss, but there is that sense of investment in an account and reputation.

It’s entirely possible in the future, since ActivityPub accounts can be “forwarded”. It’s a little clunky but look at Mastodon.

Not really though, you can still see them from the other account, so meh

Millions of people have left Twitter, wtf are you talking about?

No because Twitter is a walled ecosystem, you can’t move to Bluesky and interact with people on twitter for example.
With federated stuff you can move and still interact with people on other instances.

You’re telling me you can’t cross post links from Twitter to Bluesky and vis versa?
MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 hours ago
Sure you can, but I can’t follow someone on twitter or bluesky from other platforms.

There is only one Twitter whereas anyone can start “a Lemmy”.
