if you're relying on the narrative, you're going to run into the same problem as any of the other twitter clones that have tried to siphon away twitter's audience by targeting a specific demographic (e.g. parler) - you end up with only that group, and the prolific posters who bring the most value to the platform do so because they're chasing the broad audience that twitter provides.
the crypto bros don't want to perform for an audience that's only other crypto bros, they want to reach the people who aren't part of their circle, and twitter provides that. same for the right-wingers - if they can't reach the suburban wine moms, there's no point in posting.
