We need an alternative. Simple personal Rss will do. Users will go wherever the techies tell them to go

That's never been the case. Users at large want convenience above all. If Twitter were to hire a private army and take over a small remote island exterminating its indigenous populace in the process, I would bet good money they would lose fewer users than if they were to force mandatory 2FA and >16 character passwords.
I don't care about users at large they can keep debating their politics at twitter. But it is also the equivalent of a public feed for all kinds of important people and personalities

Only if those techies make it worthwhile. How do we make something like private RSS feeds as easy as facebook?

First by having rss feeds. Then by creating competing readers
"techies"
