JUST. LEAVE. TWITTER.
A lot of people have professional reasons to be on Twitter. If you're trying to promote a business you need to be where the people are and none of the alternatives have anywhere near Twitter's size.
I've practically been groveling begging my girlfriend to switch.
She didn't really catch onto mastodon, discoverability is the problem imo. May try getting her onto bluesky even though it wouldn't be my pick. Some people just like whatever they currently have more than change - which maybe not being able to block like EVERY OTHER media platform may be a big enough change.
Basically nothing I follow is on anything else because they need the numbers. The few people that are just copy their twitter posts and never actually engage.
Problem is people have gotten used to centralized platforms
I use to keep in contact with my metal homies. That's about it.
If you ever feel like trying Mastodon, https://metalhead.club is the instance you're looking for
Using a corporate controlled advertising platform sounds like the least metal thing you can do.
But ..the porn...
By all means, keep posting and perusing porn on the platform, when that and Elon will be all that's left on Twitter, it'll be ok.
