Which platform provides the same network effect? Bsky? Mastodon?
I don't see the popular Twitter personalities there such as naval, balajis, paulg, etc. or folks from TOPT, etc.

Most of the people you mentioned wouldn't risk their money for something like moral values so they haven't left X. A large number of interesting, less self motivated people have migrated already.
Such content doesn't seem possible on other platforms. FB is dead here. Insta is only images/videos. Threads is a no-no. I don't know any alternatives as of yet where my network is active.
None, obviously - every network is unique. However, that doesn't contradict the premise. If one accepts that continuing to use twitter makes one "part of the problem", a desire to read PG's tweets doesn't seem like a meaningful justification. In my view, the only justification is "I don't care how twitter operates" or "I think twitter's new mission is good".
If you want celeb VCs, then, yeah, you're probably stuck with Twitter. Most people don't, though.
Dunno, no interest.

I've never been quite sure what people mean when they say this.
> governments
An increasing number of governments, government agencies and politicians have presence on Bluesky or Mastodon or both. The EC has its _own mastodon instance_ (though, confusingly, some EC agencies are on other instances, or are just on bluesky).
> authors
Mostly Bluesky, also Threads to some extent.
BTW if I may clarify, by thought leader, I mean people who are leaders or popular figures in a particular industry, whose voices matter and shapes up that domain.
Think of Sam Altman for AI, Marc Andreessen for VC, Andrew Huberman for Mental Health, and figures like Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, Naval Ravikant, etc.
