I've set up accounts on three social media sites to replace Twitter.
CoSo is the clear winner but I need to find a way to attract more journalists and researchers to join for it to be an effective replacement.
Post.news is fine for news updates, but it's funded by Mark Andreesen, who isn't all that different from Musk and indeed helped ($) Musk buy Twitter.
Spoutible is problematic harassment-wise and I only set up an account there to prevent someone else from spoofing me.

I semi-regularly contact ppl whose work is important to me to tell them why I've chosen CoSo & they should, too (w/a link to that Zdnet article that called it the best).
They DO have to open their minds to a non-viral universe. It's a change; wrapping the mind around a place where one may get a few dozen likes instead of a few 100k can probably feel like the same amount of work but no one really paying attention.
But, the network effect = more ppl, more everything else....
