I guess the latest twitter wave is sort of relevant to me since a decent number of furries moved over, though I still feel like some more popular members of the community failed us there, because I haven't seen any of them trying to use their influence to do anything, and I feel like they should put in at least some effort to research that.
I also haven't seen anyone really promote their fedi accounts on other places even if they got one, but every YouTube video out there has a mention of twitter and other mainstream sites.
You're right about the culture, redditors have more agency, and it feels like twitter has turned people into zombies who don't think anything except what their timeline (if you can really still call it a timeline) feeds them, the moment it disappears from there it's as if it doesn't exist.
Really makes me wonder what platforms like tiktok where the user agency is maximally removed must be doing to people's brains, I've never used it so I can't tell exactly, but the 100% passive attitude of my younger siblings to it, social media and what happens within it gives me a hint.
