Alot of words to reach conclusions already often arrived at over the past few years, but ok. Many realized Fediverse isn't it and moved on, but also fine for some to still congregate around their respective instances and communities and have their space too. Small/indie web etc etc. It's just not the broad social network some might have been looking for beyond X. That being said no "direct experience using Twitter" raises how OP has any real insights into this at all really. Also avoiding Bluesky or saying ATProto kind of a big hole here, but at least mentioned as maybe possibility and that's not the main subject of the post. Carry on.

ATProto is not the answer either in my opinion. What the all get wrong is a privacy, community based experience first. They have all tried to create a new public commons they dominate.
