    The analogy of simply choosing different software doesn’t apply here. Because I can switch my os or calculator app. Those choices don’t depend on other people. Sadly, we still depend on being able to read content that other parties we care for still publish on Twitter even though I disagree with it as a to. Maybe they do or dont care. I can disagree with Twitter and like my influencers. For that, something like nitter is a good step in the direction. I want to move. As muchas I’d like to snap my fingers and have everyone into my network of personal choice. It cannot happen.

      As somebody who still has to check Reddit from time to time because of the vast amount of content there, I totally see your point. But don’t influencers nowadays use everything possible? If you don’t like Instagram, follow them on Tiktok/Youtube, if you don’t like Twitter, follow them on Threads.

        I used influencers as an example, that’s true that they’re everywhere. But there’s many communities I follow that don’t care about Twitter politics, and they got little interest or even information to consider moving elsewhere.
