Wonder whether any of the new platforms will gain traction, or whether what happened to Twitter repeats and the users will just return from the alternatives.

I don't think anyone has returned to Twitter from Mastodon, of course most people didn't migrate in the first place, but Mastodon is much more active than it was a year ago.
They have, especially big names that count on high follower numbers and analytics. I run across lots of accounts that have 2 or 3 posts, then stopped.

Like the parent comment said, those names never left to begin with

yeah, you can do that with any random social media account. The average Redditor barely comments.

Like three people went to mastadon.
