You're kind of defeating the point here by talking about all of these other social media sites that are available, none of which you claim has been dismantled. . .and even rejecting some of them as not being good only because enough people aren't using them. This is not a dismantling of the system.

Twitter is literally being dismantled. It’s a shell of what it previously was, and does not work for organizing protests and other counter-culture due to the billionaires buying and taking it apart piece by piece.

The whole point of Twitter was reach. None of the other platforms have the same reach.

Also the other platforms are doing their best to follow twitters lead. So yes, it’s being dismantled.
