    It’s just a completely different use case. It may or may not continue to exist on its own but it will never replace twitter because it does not have the core thing that makes twitter special among social media (the fact that it is essentially “public”). “A bunch of small communities of nerds talking about niche topics” is something you can find friggin anywhere on the internet.

      It’s not public; it’s exclusive. I don’t want to have to register just to view posts.

      Twitter links are harder to get through than paywalled articles, so they’re about about as worth reading to me as facebook posts.
