Twitter is by far the larger platform, small independent creators have to work to promote their game on every platform they can if they want to. The moral high ground of not using undesirable social media sites is nice, but isn’t fair to people who are partially dependent on those platforms to make a living.

Why is he still using Twitter? Does he want a bunch of Nazis replying to him?

Also, the simple fact is that there is no reason that any entity promoting their product has to choose any of these platforms over the other–you can just post to all of them, every single one that has enough users to be worth posting to.

I’ve seen several small creators say they get 10 times the engagement on Bluesky. It’s becoming clear that X’s numbers are mostly illusory at this point.

Twitter can reach various community from variety of region, like English Asia Twitter.
Entire fediverse is still mostly Western community.

Because, unfortunately, millions of people still use it. If you’re selling a product, it’s in your best interest to have as much social media presence as possible.

If you’ve ever made a thing that took so much time that it has to be your job, and earn you money, you’d likely have a different view. If you’re ignoring a percentage of your target market because they’re on a platform you don’t like, then your project might fail, and you don’t get to keep your house.

Well, if more presence is good, then surely he must have a Mastodon account, which should rightly be linked in his Twitter bio. Why didn’t OP just follow that link to find the post on Mastodon and post a Mastodon screenshot to help in the effort to make Twitter lose relevance? That’s what would happen if everyone was behaving sensibly.
Drag recognises that most people don’t behave sensibly, because they don’t think about the big issues. That’s why people need to be told that they’re making unwise choices.
