Thank you for explaining to me how Twitter works. "Interesting leaders" won't migrate anywhere without an audience interested in their content. You build the community first. Stop comparing a 17-year-old website to a 6-month-old website. What you are describing doesn't happen overnight.

Christopher,

🧵Without news outlets and academics, there’s little reason for Twitter’s base to be here. Which is why they aren’t. Same is true for smaller groups like various ethnic Twitters, tech Twitters, etc. If interesting leaders don’t migrate here, the followers won’t, either.…1/

It takes time to break years of habit. That is why with all the toxicity and people claiming they are leaving Twitter, they are still there tweeting away. Because that is what their brains are conditioned to do. You have to literally build a new community.

The key isn't only attracting users already on Twitter but attracting users outside of Twitter who haven't developed a habit of tweeting daily. Once again, this doesn't happen overnight.

And I do blame the media for folks thinking this can happen overnight.

That "someone" created this amazing site. That "someone" has to listen to people who don't know a fraction of what he knows about the workings of social media tell him what he should be doing.

I would hardly call the respectful difference of opinion describe above an "attack".
