Twitter wasn’t just software or visible leadership (for better or worse) but an entire important slice of Internet history.

    That’s the thing. You can’t turn the clock back. As fediverse alternatives pop up and the social media old guard slowly declines, there will be a lot of fragmentation.

      I imagine the pareto distribution will apply to federated communities as well

      Right! You have to look at context. Remember the first time you got on (Usenet/Compuserve/AOL/Friendster) or whatever your first Internet experience was? Twitter was a new thing. Now there are 20 Twitter look-alikes but none can go back to the novelty.
