Weird that people are making actual plans to stay connected if SHTF here.
Like how actually connected are you to hometown, college, or old job networks? It’s single digits in each case for me. Like 1%.
Social graphs are far more disposable than you think.

I’m definitely not chasing down the 1385 accounts I follow if they scatter
I doubt 99% of the people following me will make any effort to find me elsewhere.
Realistically we’re either already multi-channel dm mutuals or it’s goodbye. And that’s normal and fine.

Dictators handbook theory of moving off twitter. Partition people you follow into essentials (2+ dm channel mutuals), influentials (you’ll recognize them if they show up elsewhere but not miss much) and interchangeables (background vibes you’ll replace wholesale)
1%, 9%, 90%.

zuck spent billions on an empty metaverse, and tweeps on the brink of exodus are like, ‘mastodon, i guess?’

Perfectly normal. What would be weird is if they actually followed through with it. It's just something people say to pretend to themselves these connections matter.

It’ll be a test of how important “weak ties” really are — and what happens when we lose the ability to access and cultivate them

I think if there's a way to at least be semi-findable it might be quite interesting to see who carries over. Every weird life phase has a couple keepers
