It's a shame but it's also true none of the options are a real alternative to Twitter. Twitter's main strength comes from the number of creators it has and the discoverability of content for general users. None have succeeded in breaking it.

Discoverability of content above average? On Twitter? An I doing something wrong? The only time I end up on Twitter is when someone links to it. Following or even searching in comments is essentially not possible.

I think it's a great platform for people who like celebrities or talking heads. I don't care about those people so I was more into reddit where it was more like anonymous peers. Lemmy takes the place of reddit super well but I could see why Mastodon doesn't because there are no celebrities or talking heads.

talking heads

You may find yourself

Posting on a shutdown server

And you may find yourself

In another part of the web

And you may find yourself

On a beautiful site

With a beautiful admin

And you may say to yourself

How did I get here?
