Well, for some it may have been the straw that broke the camel's back.

Twitter hasn't exactly been great prior to the outage.

Right, but, how many people could have been persuaded to move if twitter didn't have an outage? That's my point. Nothing of value was lost, including moving people to mastodon and the like. Along with pushing mastodon on twitter, we should be jumping on every twitter news article and discussion here and on reddit and reminding people that an alternative exists.

It won't be long before the only ones left on twitter are bots, trolls and idiots.
