No.
They should stop copying Twitter all together.
Their entire UX is built around a global state.
Their "algos" etc, just like Twitters, are only lenses to see the exact same global state through.
A global state that most actually desire, because everyone seeing a different counts, replies, top trends, etc... is frustrating UX.
So either you keep reminding everyone every day that this frustrating UX is actually the "total awesome next internet" or you start trying to become "the global state".
The prevalent Twitter-clones do both.
Their way out is to stop being Twitter and start making room in their imagination for what the Nostr primitives uniquely enable.
For me, that's building interoperable online castles 🏰 that each have their own global state.
