"flock to other platforms" is a stretch. One person going to Discord and one starting their own blog. Is there any actual data on user migration?

What other sorta-real-time, mobile micro-blogging platforms are there to move to that have enough people to make switching away from Twitter even vaguely realistic?

Mastodon, Discord, or any startup that’s positioned to move right now and occupy the impending vacuum.

Basically it’s time for someone to do to Twitter what Reddit did to Digg.

Moments like this reminds me that I made a great choice ditching most social apps like Facebook and such. I was not using them anyways, snd I've heard only negative things about it. So yeah.

Good riddance. Most were poison.

Won't be Mastodon, though. Not when people realize that it is, by design, already in the same mess Twitter soon will be with unaccountable individuals (rather than boards or committees, who at least have to compromise with each other) making the rules about what you can send and see on a node-by-node basis (like subreddits with a single mod, but worse since the person who runs the node doesn't have any network-wide content rules they have to obey).

There will necessarily be an initial wave of departures. Elon Musk had already foreseen this. We'll have to see how things play out over the next few months.
