I never understood the appeal of Twitter. I hosted a Mastodon instance 2 years ago for the African disapora and 1. No one used it and 2. I had to keep it up to date and couldn't remove the Mastodon copyright bs. So I just stopped. I pay with my own resources that someone else benefits. I don't think so. Same with Lemmy. I pay for them benefiting from the cream of my content on their meta aggregation site. I don't think so.
