I'd take that with many grains of salt, brands and influencers aren't moving and neither are their followers

That's not terribly surprising, given that both of those groups rely most heavily on network effects: the very point of such accounts requires being where their audience is, especially brands. Those kinds of accounts will move en masse only when most everyone else has already done so

Exactly, no one cares until Mr beast or Beyonce moves and they aren't going to mastodon haha
