If I want to use twitter-the-thing, I have to use twitter.com-the-service. No other service offers decent twitter. There is gnusocial.de and quitter.se, but their twitter is not as feature rich as twitter.com's twitter, and also twitter.com refuses to federate with their accounts. That means you have no access to twitter.com's biggest asset, their user base, which is pretty rude if you ask me. (I hope someone gets what I'm trying to say :-))
