Ahh yes. They have the scale and experience. My only hesitation there is Tumblr feels like a different thing than Twitter. Part Instagram part Twitter.
Just based on my own experience, I don't think Twitter is going to be easily supplanted. I've spent years--since nearly the beginning of twitter. Following--as of this writing--389 accounts. Curated over the years into a dozen different lists. Go to a different platform and recreate all of that? Assuming I can even find corresponding accounts on another platform? Not bloody likely. I doubt I'm alone in my sentiments. Absent some low-friction means of migrating to something else, inertia alone is going to keep twitter viable and shock-resistant. Mastodon? Can't even seem to get passwords set/reset. Maybe need a different server/admin, but so far...color me unimpressed. I can't imagine I'm alone in my assessment of the situation.

If you're in a minority I imagine it's a minority of people who have even tried switching.
I'm rooting for Tumblr again!
