My take on these entertaining social network breakdown times is this: Twitter refugees, in particular the power users, cannot succeed anywhere else. Their inflated status is bound to Twitter and Twitter only.
On Threads, they drown in cheap largely non-political entertainment, memes, fashion, influencer-style Insta content. Meta even openly stated this to be the goal: fun over news/politics.
Mastodon is too small, fractured and dysfunctional for Twitter power users. There's no cultural significance as it's a network of misfits with no mainstream reach.
