I think there's a few things going on, first the alternatives aren't really up and running yet - Mastadon is clunky, Post is still very much in beta, Jack Dorsey is an unbearable asshole, there's a thousand alternatives all spinning up right now, we'll see what happens when they actually launch. Secondly, there are actually some people leaving, and the people leaving are the people who bring actual interesting discussion to the site - people like John Green for example decided he couldn't tolerate the pedophile slur and has left. That's not a problem in the short term, but those leaders are just that - they're a leading indicator. Thirdly, and I think this is the most important part, Twitter has become the Elon Musk show. Everyone is still on Twitter, but the only topic of conversation is "what did Elon do today" and that's not a formula for a high engagement lasting and profitable enterprise. People tune in, but they're not there for the reasons they once were. Finally though is the most important part - which is that Twitter hasn't changed. Revolutionary bluechecks? Got rolled back, now it's back but with no features. Longer posts? Not implemented. Payments? Not implemented. Max Deboosting? Not implemented. Digg was starting to rot for a long time, and reddit was starting to gain traction for a long time, but it was only when Digg finally pushed out a new feature did everyone go "aaaand... we're done". I would suggest that's where we're sitting right now. Everyone is pissed off with Twitter, it's a worse experience with fewer good users, but there's no alternatives and not much has happened yet. But just wait, it doesn't take a look to push people over that cliff, and once they're gone they're never coming back.
