There's no need for an alternative. Twitter is simply not a necessity of any kind in reality.

But use whatever you want, freedom is yours to exercise as you see fit.

Personally I've never wanted to use Twitter, it just made me go "Yuck!" from day 1 of its existence.

There is absolutely a need for an alternative. Just because you don’t think something is important doesn’t mean that others don’t. People aren’t just going to give up features that they expect because “they’re not a necessity” - it doesn’t matter if it’s a necessity. It’s the reason people still use the platform, and until something replaces it people will continue to use it.

People hate FOSS because the people around it are fully ready to condemn you for using anything but, and when you ask for alternatives they tell you that you don’t need an alternative cause your use-case is “not a necessity”
