> I would urge everyone to reconsider your reliance on Twitter, and reinvest in decentralized options such as blogs, RSS, and email. None of these suggestions replace what Twitter offers as a whole. Suggesting blogs, RSS, and email as a replacement really is just another way of saying you don't know understand the domain. Which is fair, considering who the person is. This is not to say that blogs, RSS, and email can't work for him, you, or me. But then, we aren't trying to solve the same things. And more importantly, if you want people to use these tools, you first have to accept that they absolutely do not solve for the things Twitter provides. So, if you want to have people use that, make something that does that with blogs, RSS, and email.

> Which is fair, considering who the person is. What is that supposed to mean? I used Twitter from 2008-2012 and 2016-2022, ten (nonconsecutive) years. So I think I understand the domain pretty well.

> None of these suggestions replace what Twitter offers as a whole So? I think it’s clear that the accent here was not on twitter replacement as a whole, but on the decentralized options. And it’s fine to give up some functionality of a service when choosing an alternative. Especially when the reason for the switch is the unbearable user experience. Sometimes there might not be any alternative, and that’s also fine. I stopped using social networks and youtube years ago and I feel much better than before. It felt like I was missing out something, but this feeling didn’t last long. > considering who the person is. What do you mean?
