Just went live with this bot here on SPW! 
Hit the migrate button from botsin.space 30 min ago, which is shutting down. Roughly half my followers came over. Guessing many were on servers that block SPW ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some people might just have locked accounts so they have to authorise the migrating account manually — this usually takes time. Some might've switched to a different account themselves and followed you from it, there is no point for them to follow you from their old one 🤷
I mean instance-wide blocks have certainly contributed, but it could be not THAT bad.
@sourcreampringles_SoundCloud
Yeah, sadly that IS a major contributing factor, but there are other things at play as well.
Don't let that discourage you!
Although in the case of botsin.space, who's admin is a leftist who implemented hugbox safe-space policies, I know my audience there was mostly from the Mastodon, non-"Dark Fedi" side. So that's why I said that.
