? Twitter is a community, not an app.
To think of it as 'tech' and not the set of relations between the people is to misunderstand it.
Making that community again would be really hard.
There would have to be a 'very strong impetus' for it.
Trump is a very popular figure, and it's feasible he could be the basis for a new kind of social network, but as we saw with Parler and 'Truth Social' - he'll likely fail for obvious reasons. (And thankfully so).
And FYI - it's not at all obvious what would make a 'better Twitter'. Just adjusting the alg a bit, allowing 'more' expression, being better at spam - none of that would be enough for a 'new entrant' to make any progress.
