The facebook/mastadon format is much better for individuals, no? And Reddit/Lemmy for niches, as long as they're supplemented by a wiki or something.

And Tumblr. The way content gets spread organically, rather than with an algorithm, is actually super nice.

IMO Twitter's original premise, of letting novel, original, but very short thoughts fly into the ether has been so thoroughly corrupted that it can't really come back. It's entertaining and engaging, but an awful format for actually exchanging important information, like discord.
