    Okay so twitter is useless. What about all of the other social media sites out there?

      None ever had the organizational reach Twitter did. FB/Instagram require more personal data and are much worse for discoverability. Mastodon and BlueSky have the issue of nobody using them (in the grand scheme of things). Lemmy and Reddit don’t work well because of reach and censorship respectively.

      There still isn’t something out there that replaces the use cases of Twitter.

        You’re kind of defeating the point here by talking about all of these other social media sites that are available, none of which you claim has been dismantled. . .and even rejecting some of them as not being good only because enough people aren’t using them. This is not a dismantling of the system.
