My point is that people can choose not to use twitter despite the network effects.
I don't not use twitter because I think it hurts twitter. I don't use twitter because I know using it will hurt me.
Any politician/business/service/whatever that only makes announcements exclusively on twitter simply won't reach me, and I'm fine with that. I can't think of a single instance where missing such an announcement directly on the twitter timeline would have changed my life in a significant way.
Honestly, I must personally consider the negative connotations and fundamental sanity of those who refuse to call the X service by a name it’s had for several years.
To introduce even more confusion since the actual trademark holders are re-establishing it anew this year.

That’s not how it works, and you don’t understand the Network Effects at work here.

All those groups that use Twitter for announcements need to consider the negative connotations of being seen there, IMHO.

Old habits die hard, especially when the topic is twitterwebviewer. Sorry.
