After Twitter
There are plenty of post-Twitter alternatives to choose from. Each of the active ones has its own charm, its own potential and its own source or sources of friction.
Yet, none solve the problem I face: my main website’s readership remains on Twitter. Web traffic has plummeted since I’ve wound down my Twitter activity.
It wasn’t too bad at first when I could relay messages from Micro.Blog or Mastodon to Twitter. Now those avenues have shut.
The next stage is going to be difficult.

You’re right. It’s really sad that one numpty has destroyed what used to be a nice social media website.
Carl B. Latro @billbennett It's the same as on FB. Most everybody stays there because most everybody's staying there. Despite it mostly being adverts these days.
I think Twitter's threatened mostly by BlueSky. When it goes public, I think most Twitter users will check it out, and it'll happen all at once. And that could be the tipping point for Twitter. If most of the people they follow on Twitter are there, there'll be reasons for it to become their main micro-blogging site.
