I'm not sure the "global square" model of Twitter scales well for so many people. Just reading the comments here it seems like a lot of people use Twitter/X defensively. They're constantly scanning for what they think is grift, politics, etc. They have an attitude of "do not disturb me" on X by default. This sort of gruff fatigue is what seems to set in on very large, cacophonous social networks. I also find Youtube to be a lot healthier, probably because not everyone is incentivized to have an opinion, and it's quite easy to ignore the Comments section. I find the Youtube -> Discord pipeline to be great. I'd love to have an open version of this, something like Peertube/Bitchute -> Matrix, but due to the usual reasons FOSS continues to only appeal to small niches.
