They have lost most of their advertisers and serious users, because content has been driven into extreme corners. The platform is now full of bots, scammers and problematic opinions on the political spectrum. Latest I heard, they value of the company has gone down to less than half of what Elon bought it originally.

The only who are doing well on Twitter are crypto-scams, Nazis and trolls. But it seems Elon is now in those bubbles active, so maybe that was the intention all along?

So what Twitter competitor has everyone else gone to?
Maybe, finally, everyone just went outside.
I mean, I used it about 30 mins/day before, now it’s like 10 or less. Personally haven’t felt the need to find a Twitter-replacement, you just do other stuff more, I guess? It’s like dropping a hobby. You don’t replace it with an exact replica, it just wears off.
I don't know overall, but most of the people I know who stopped using Twitter didn't replace it with anything.
Discord, Patreon, Substack, etc
