my theory with migration is that "the normies" will only come if it's polished, normie friendly, marketed, and used enough. Normies have a huge mentally-imposed barrier to anything new/different where the second anything goes wrong they give it up and want their Windows back.
Apple is the only company who could bypass this, take a guess on why.
The "culture" kind of rotted with the great Keffals/LFJ op to shutdown Kiwi Farms and the userbase there used it as a bunker for a while, along with poasties, Jim being banned on Twitter for a while, and then the Mastodon side trying to take over before being given their own reservation to be on (Bluesky). I unfortunately wasn't there for much of the old stuff, I literally tried to use SPC when it was a GS instance and it felt like me and a few friends were trying to force ourselves to use it.
