I'm still posting on Twitter because the people I'm trying to reach are still there and the alternatives never materialised.

Then you are still part of the problem.
Besides, if you're trying to reach the people who remain on Twitter, that says a decent amount about you.
This is the only correct answer, if you don't like the boss of a social media company, you should just cut all ties with everyone on there. Then lock yourself into your room, never go outside again, and complain about it on HN.
Or you could have a spine and move over to a platform not run by a billionaire antisemite.

"users of my application".
You seem to be claiming that everyone still on Twitter is ideologically compromised. There's a ton of people just ignoring the politics and I still need a channel to reach them.
The politics are all that are left; it's impossible to use Twitter and not participate on some level.
For example, Twitter is now called X. Surely they noticed that.

This kind of rhetoric had a good run, but you should understand it is now (solidly) a net loss in persuasion.
The attempt is not persuasion, but alienation. This is the fate of people who behave as he does, and I believe will contribute (to the extent any one person can) in deterrence of others from trying to normalize continued Twitter usage in light of its antisemitic shift in tone.
