    Such massive and old platform won’t lose its userbase just because it undergoes a wild evolution. Look at .tumblr, facebook…

    Instead, ask what it takes for eXTwitter to stop being any important.

    To be honest I never needed Twitter, but I made an account since some of users of my software asked that I announce new versions there. So now I have an account which I sporadically use for tech support for some companies in my country. If Twitter dies, I don’t need any similar social network. Its only benefit was being able to publicly reach any user.

    It’s going to take a seemless to register platform that offers comparable features to Twitter and then massive accounts switching over and actually leaving Twitter behind.

    Right now Threads seems to be the closest, but they lack the feature set Twitter has like search and hashtags so the big accounts only tried it out before running back to what worked for them. Not to mention they don’t have a usable web page for the platform either which alienates a lot of desktop users.

    If Threads adds those things in, I fully believe more of the bigger accounts will transition over with their following and it’ll snowball to become a massive platform. Whether it stays a good site remains to be seen, it is Meta after all.

    If the clowns who endlessly complain about Musk just stopped complaining about him on his own platform, the entire site would collapse.

    An alternative that is easy to join for every normie, where NSFW is allowed, and the service works seamlessly 24/7.
