You are kidding, right? Twitter is hemorrhaging users and its ad revenue has cratered. Bluesky and Threads are picking up a ton of these refugees and over the past four months I have been seeing a lot of companies leaving Twitter and moving other to these other platforms.

Twitter has already been dethroned, within twelve months it will be obvious to all.

Fediverse seems to have grown into a solid niche as well.

It's smaller than what you might be used to... but large enough to have a real sense of community now. It's a bit of a bubble but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

That's Lemmy.world, Mastodon.world, and various other Lemmy/Mastodon instances that have popped up.

I don't see this at all. I've had a twitter account since it started but I never found ti that useful until the past couple years. I don't see the point in Threads or Blusky except as short lived tantrums over the owners politics.

We have very different experiences then. I used to open Twitter very once in a while, but a few months ago I completely stopped using it. It became a non-stop firehose of right-wing propaganda, ragebait, Trump, and bot spam. It's completely unusable.
