There is no replacing the "network" effect that pre-Musk Twitter had. To add this analogy one more time, it's like bulldozing Central Park or burning down public libraries. Nothing else will fully take its place. But he has burned it down.
That is true. But for me (as a consumer rather than a creator) the startup lists people have posted on here have made it really easy for me to get a lot of that pre-Musk Twitter feel back in a 24 hour period. Nothing will fully take the park's place, but we can build something good where it was.
Most of my favs are here now, and the ones that aren’t… are no longer my favs.
You mean Goebbels.net?
They've paved Twitter and put up a Nazi lot.
