Bye, bye birdie.

Yeah, Leaving Twitter... Oh wait, I mean "X", and while I'm not in the market for a place to replace it, I felt like writing down all of the ones I know of off of the top of my head, and I'm taking suggestions for people who have been any one of these sites and can give me a first-hand experience of your time and if that site is worth making an account on.
Tumblr: I already have one of these that I barely use, might wipe my account and use it more as a place for art and random thoughts.
Pillowfort: This looks like a Tumblr-clone, might be worth a try?
Mastodon: This one is very popular, albeit it has a steeper learning curve due to how it works.
Itaku: Another possible Tumblr-like?
Cohost: I've rambled about this one and their "No Ads forever" policy. It sounds good on paper, but here's the thing. What if they get big enough that they need more engineers and servers? Are they just going to ask for donations?
Threads: Hahahaha, no. This is basically "Twitter, but by theFacebook Meta team" and the only, and I mean ONLY reason I'd get that is because I could probably use the Facebook account I barely use to sign up with that. I mean, that's what I did for my not really used Pintrest and Instagram accounts...
Bluesky: Twitter, by some of the original guys who made Twitter, just under a different name because the name belongs to someone else. The Yooka-Laylee of social media, I guess. It's invite-only, and everyone is waiting for their key.
Did I miss any? Do any of you have accounts at any of these places and could give me a recommendation? Comment below!

OP
Yeah, I'm not leaving, and I don't really want another website I barely use (I mean, I already have a Weasyl account as a backup, just in case FA goes down for another weeks-long outage), Just all of this talk for weeks on end about everyone jumping ship and how everyone should join them on whatever just got me thinking of what site I'd choose if I really had to.
