Hi Paula! I've just answered your survey, but you didn't raise two questions that are the most important for me and those are the reasons I migrated to Mastodon. First, it's Mastodon's better accessibility for every category of users including blind screen reader users like me, and second (strongly tied to the first one) is that Mastodon, unlike the darned network that X became, has a robust API and allows you to create a third-party client for any platform, be it Web, Windows, Mac or mobile.

@menelion Thank you for your participation and your remarks. I do not mainly focus on the migration process in my thesis, but I'll keep your suggestions in mind.

It's not about migration as such, it's more about marginalized groups, or, as I prefer the term more, discriminated minorities. When you-know-who bought Twitter, he eliminated the whole accessibility team and also especially prohibited using their API for building new third-party software clients for the network. That's why lots of blind and some sighted people instantly switched to Mastodon. I had my Mastodon account even before, but at the point where my third-party software of choice stopped working, I stopped using Twitter immediately.
