Why are people still on there? Twitter has been sold; the old management is never coming back. X is, almost explicitly at this point, a platform meant for crypto scammers and white supremacists, and that is not going to change. If you aren't part of or adjacent to those groups, fucking leave it.
I'm hanging on until I get a BlueSky invite. I think a lot of people are doing the same.
Why? What could you possibly be missing at this point if you just stopped using it?
There are a lot of informative artists and educators that are otherwise scattered to the four winds (or worse, only on Facebook/TikTok/Instagram). I've learned a lot from people posting about field work they're actively doing, people certified to do all kinds of jobs I'd never otherwise get to hear from, etc. There's not as many as there used to be, but there's enough that I'd rather see what they have to say while I'm waiting for my Bluesky invite.
just do mastadon already, ffs, everyone I followed on twitter is there.

People just like to Twitterbate. Can't say I get it, but then again I don't like to be pooped on during sex either. Different strokes, I guess.
