You're right - Twitter used to generate FOMO amongst those not attending, plus make it easier for attendees to coordinate after-hours events. Both of those factors are diminished.
Twitter used to be a huge conference backchannel. But, as far as I can tell, that's largely gone and neither Mastodon nor Bluesky have really recreated the Twitter of old. I have accounts on all three and I barely look at them and many others I know are the same.
