Let's hope for another twitter migration wave to mastodon / other fediverse platforms!

There are programs for that! Even an app AFAIK, but sadly I don't remember the good ones right now. Maybe someone could pitch in and suggest?
Seems like it worked for me. Last I checked my deleted account's comments are still up and display replaced text.
I overwrote my comments with a message that clearly states why I overwrote my comments and deleted my account.

Yup. Wanted to add that I'm glad there is modlog on on these platforms and that they are visible to everyone. Love the transparency.
I believe the developers on Kbin and Lemmy have moderation tools in their backlog. I think it will be interesting to see how they implement those and how it will work in the fediverse.
It infuriating that companies talk about sustainability to boost their branding while designing their products with planned obsolescence.
It's also about the barrier of entry. Discord has a barrier, but it is not high. The fact that this platform is their commercial product ensures that issues are minimal (well...). For non tech-savvy people and those who don't have time / don't want to put in time to troubleshoot and figure things out this is the reason they go for these commercial solutions.
Just my observations from trying to switch friends and family over to free open source alternatives. It was a huge hassle to even get people to try out and move to signal, but signal has lowered the barrier quite a bit and now it's stable (was not always as fast and stable as now).
