Twitter always had a fraction of Facebook or Instagram users. It was/is popular with certain niches, more or less popular in certain countries, but not the network to find your family or friends.
Politicians and reporters using it should be ashamed of sharing a platform with Nazis and pedophiles.
Twitter is a significantly different medium. Instagram is obviously geared towards pictures and reels rather than microblogs, and Facebook… actually, I concede that I don’t know how Facebook works these days.
I do know that I’ve seen way more people advertise their twitter than their Facebook in my age cohort (20-30). So again, I don’t believe that X is quite so devoid of an audience as you suppose. And in that light, I don’t think people whose job depends on reaching as many people and demographics as possible should be indiscriminately expected to leave that platform.
However, I do agree they should (also) use a different platform to break up the network effect and facilitate migration for everyone else. Because the audience are the ones I’d shame for choosing to stay. They have no economic or political pressure to. They absolutely should be ashamed of sharing a platform with Nazis and pedophiles.
