I have seen a number of people saying things like "once the influencers get on the #fediverse everyone else will follow." I am not convinced. And maybe I'm wrong about this, but I feel like influencers don't draw nearly as many people as it seems. They influence the people who are there, sure. And they are sort of sticky - once they are influencing people those people may feel reluctant to leave (see Twitter). But I think most of the time influencers are opportunists more than they are leaders. And so most of them hold off until change is worth it to them, based on whatever metrics are important to them. If enough regular folk move, then the influencers will follow. Not the other way around.
