Look at the twitter. Whatever they can do people stay there. Maybe the hardcore users or geeks will leave, but the crowd will stay.

Nah Twitter is a shell of its former self. Try searching up a niche subject and 99% of the tweets are ads.

Yeah, the entire niche industry community I was on twitter for absolutely ate it during the early days of Elon and the majority have moved on - mainly to social media spaces like Insta or TikTok.

We got some of them on Reddit, even - though that sure was a brief and shallow victory, all told.

Yeah I'm software educator in a few small niches. I used to just go and search the topic and make friends, help people out but now 99% of the posts are automated shilling for some business or some SEO spam.

I still try to pop in but it seems like Twitter is a lost cause especially since they put search behind login now. Just like Reddit they have alienated content creators and it shows.
