To be honest I like the idea of being able to move my account from a server which is offline to a different one. We should have it with ActivityPub too.

Nah, I don't buy it, people have been telling me that they don't understand Twitter, what it is for and so on for years and most of my normal friends never got a Twitter account, while most of them had a Facebook account. It's not about federated vs. non federated, they all have a federated email account from their school, university, work, etc. and everyone has a username@domain.tld address and nobody is complaining about that it's not just @username for email. It's more that it's not useful for them to have a Twitter account or a Mastodon account or a Lemmy account. If it were useful they would just deal with the complexity like they do with the complexity of Facebook and Email.

Your Twitter example is spot on. Why would I want to follow specific people? It's about the content on the platform. Tildes suffers from the same issue, it's generally not an interesting place to be so people don't stick around very long.

Personally, I like to follow specific journalist and news orgs that report on topics I'm interested in. That def helps with the breaking news aspect. Besides of course following talented shitposters like dril ofc.
