Don't know why people keep asking this. It's a simple answer: the network affect. People are there because people are there.

Exactly, Twitter still has over 200 million DAU. Thread has about 30 million, Bluesky has less. Mastodon is worse.

Things like my city’s metro communication is still on Twitter. People aren’t going leave anytime soon.
