    Authors and others whose main method of self-promotion has been Twitter have probably been motivated to stick around. While alternatives exist, when your goal is getting your name and work in front of the maximum number of eyes, it really matters that Twitter is still more populated and thus better for discovery than other platforms.

      I think that falls into the “necessary for your job” exception. Even authors who don’t want to be in a pro-Nazi platform will be nagged into it by agents and publishers… at least for now. Maybe when Elon goes full alt-reich that’ll change.
