There currently isn't any alternative with similar traction. I use bsky, but it's a ghosttown.

I understand that the team at BlueSky is tiny and that they were firstly prioritizing getting a stable, core featureset out, but I firmly believe that keeping posts private to non account holders followed by the iron grip on signups during Twitter's implosion era last year was an enormous strategic blunder that they'll never recover from.

Which is a shame, because I really want them to succeed. But the amount of dead accounts I see made by people with followings on twitter, who were lucky enough to get an invite is telling. A total collapse of momentum.

You're literally ignoring the elephant in the room. ActivityPub based services are definitely not a ghost town. You should give mastodon a try.
