The reason that people use Twitter is because celebrities are there. That's it. Our culture is so deep in this freaky celebrity worship shit that "your inane bullshit might be read by the person you saw on the TV" is the ultimate selling point. the only way a twitter clone beats twitter is if it convinces the celebrities to move
And the celebrities are only there cuz the people are there, chomping at the bit to see a social media manager tweet out a commercial for Beetlejuice 3. The only way mass migration to another platform happens is if Twitter genuinely goes offline for a sustained period.
