Personally if I have to jump from Twitter, I'm more likely to switch to Micro.blog [1]. Everything is posted to your own site as an RSS post, and it already has iPhone and Mac apps. And of course, it has an API for making your own apps.

Does it support OStatus?

It seems that Microblog is a mixture of Feeds and the Indieweb, namely the Micropub API which originated there: http://help.micro.blog/2017/api-posting/

Btw: Isn't ActivityPub the new OStatus?

Might also be worth pointing out that Micropub is a W3C Recommendation [1], and I think MicroPub and ActivityPub are meant to work together [2].
