It's interesting on the most popular Twitter sites springing up people want to define what that place is or isn't. For all Twitter's many flaws either before or after Elon I just kinda tweeted what I tweeted. On many of the alternative sites right now I find myself wondering 'does this fit the site?' Ultimately unable to answer that question it is why they've pretty much all been read-only for me so far. 🤷♀️

I'm interested to explore each one to some degree and reflect on what all is going on and wonder how it's all going to pan out.
So I R/W a bunch but not with the same energy everywhere for sure. Bluesky at least seems like it's got a "good" vector IMHO but it's being heavily curated in many ways, I find it esp odd that I get several new follows every day from users that don't seem to have any much in common with me and have a huge number of following vs followed counts, here's just two.
Nostr is a strong cognitive bias for me bc of some of my main interests ($XBT/⚡ and highly decentralized/permissionless innovation systems) and that's great but at the same time it's a bit limiting and risks feeling like an echo chamber at times. Do see more general interest users in the last month or two which is good.
Going to be interesting to look back at the landscape across all this stuff in ~5 years or so.
