Honestly Misskey forks for all their flaws can absolutely take this opportunity to properly advertise themselves as viable alternatives. As someone who uses a Misskey fork, I love the UI in comparison to Mastodon, and the communities in Misskey forks are a lot less techie and a lot more laid back and goofy most of the time from my personal experience.

If it’s any consolation I am seeing bridged account for Mastodon over there. I think people will get more exposure to the wider Fedverse while they’re there.
