An even better alternative is to replace it with nothing. The Twitter-like messaging paradigm is only good for trivia and rumor-mongering.
I used Twitter for emergency updates, saved me multiple times.
...or following people and interests you want to follow and keeping up with their updates.
ffs stop gatekeeping social media
If i ever wan tto know what Natalie Portman ate for breakfast, i'll walk into the ocean
Everyone knows it was hot grits, and she poured them down your pants.
Just /. things.
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.

Naw, that was Starlink hacking the voting machines
I'm sure any rural broadband initiatives are going to be scrapped, all the more better for business for Starlink.
Go to Mastadon you tards
I use(d) Twitter for niche interactive hobbies that didn't have enough people on Mastodon to engage with.
