GNU Social is the alternative to Twitter. It exists today. It is your own fault for choosing Twitter when these things are already here.

I think you're confused about the mission of GNU while you measure GNU toward your own standards without any investment of your own. The primary mission of GNU is to merely exist as free software. The matter of GNU being subjectively "bad" or "good" or "popular" is not a priority for GNU. The ideal is that users start with free software (such as GNU) and then invest themselves into improve the software towards their subjective perfection. Merely complaining that other people (the GNU project in this case) refuse to work to your own standards is self-induced helplessness.
