There is a twitter shaped hole in the internet because the people who are unhappy with it only develop solutions to problems they think other people have instead of making something someone else wants. The people trying to replicate twitter with a new version are indexed on "fixing" the slightly annoying things users put up with - without making something so good that users put up with the annoying things. What made old twitter viable was it was a literal carnival where the plebes could parade around like famous people and famous people could pretend to be plebes. It failed when the government infiltrated it and conspired to ban comedians because their policies were vulnerable to the mockery they had earned. What anti-Elon people want today is a way to ingratiate themselves to power and its shifting narratives without shame, sort of like if LinkedIn had users, or an Onlyfans subscription you could say is for the articles. You can't say it, you just have to build it, but these "something must be done" posts are tedious.
