Ultimately Twitter is timely and has almost universal mindshare.
A few weeks ago when there was the pacific earthquake, I had family who were very close to a danger zone vacationing. Google was not sufficient for finding good local timely info as an outsider but twitter was.
I would never even think to check BlueSky or Mastodon, and my family will never have heard of them.
