I just don't see many people permanently moving away from Twitter to another similar app. People want to follow the largest audience and the most creators/publishers they care about. A whole bunch of similar alternatives will try to bleed off users from Twitter during this turmoil, but they're all also competing against each other in addition to competing against Twitter, so none of them are likely to replace what Twitter offers as the town square. No creator wants to have to duplicate posts and build followings on several very similar new platforms to reach their audience, and no users want to use several similar apps just to follow the people they like. The result is that the incumbent platform has a huge advantage. Those that still want what Twitter offers will mostly go back in time when they find the alternatives can't really compete on audience and on content.
