I don’t think this is understanding the strength of network effects. For people who are actually using Twitter for communication, networking, or being an influencer they can’t leave.

Gettr really drove this point home for me. Here’s a right wing Twitter alternative that’s actually not bad UX wise, it’s been recommended by big names including Joe rogan, yet what’s happened? Most conservative influencers have stayed on Twitter and complain on Twitter about Twitter censorship. They mirror their posts on gettr with some tool but that’s it, Twitter is still primary.

If you can’t even get these people to leave Twitter, that means something.
