> don't like the ways twitter is changing. I'm leaving

Has there been work to quantify relative network effects in Twitter vs Mastodon, either generally or in specific communities? e.g. if person A was following N people on Twitter (e.g. in a list), what subset or superset of N could be followed on Mastdon?

If a user requested all their data from Twitter, including people being followed, is there tooling to map user identity/handles from Twitter to member names on decentralized alternatives?

> someone is going to tell them to "self-host a Mastodon instance.. from masto.host

Wouldn't that be masto-hosted rather than self-hosted?

In that scenario, Masto.host would be a trusted custodian of a social media identity, somewhat like a bank.
