As someone who only primarily used Twitter for communication, I invested in the Feedhive platform early because it was really attractive for me to use to start building my audience. Now I feel lost as I can no longer use the app to create, schedule and track my posts on Twitter... then I saw this insightful video which made me think hard about your advice “Start being active on multiple platforms". Thanks for giving me confidence in Feedhive's future and the motivation to seek out alternative channels with the app to build my audience.

It's more about the people than the platform. Twitter has some of the best minds of the planet which Elon realized and decided to capitalize on it. As an introvert, I feel Twitter is the best platform to create content and especially if you want to get into tech. This is why I was also about to buy a Feedhive subscription but for some reason Twitter didn't allow me its API access, and eventually I have to drop the plan. Guess I also have to start with substack and mastodon. Great video by the way, you motivate me a lot especially when it comes to SaaS and No-code building!

No, Elon got rid of many of those best minds when he took over. For tech, the better place is Discord. For creating content, KZfaq (video), TikTok (short form entertainment), and Instagram (visuals) are miles better than Twitter. Twitter's specialty (how people often use it) was short bursts of news, headlines, announcements, and arguments. People were already leaving Twitter after Elon started running things while Tesla started taking a big hit. Feedhive knows it's numbers, they will do fine and better without Twitter. Businesses understand to use multiple platforms.
