Really only to get notifications of weather stuff from my local NWS office.

My entire fandoms are there. Also twitter is ok if you follow the right people, you don't depend on the trending list and you dgaf about follower count.

Because there's still a strong football/soccer community there, along with Reddit

A lot of youtubers and such only make announcements for content and streams via twitter, or their own services that kind of suck worse in terms of access. In order to stay on top of some limited access content, twitter is still "useful" in that regard.

Personally, I've never used it for that, I mostly ever checked twitter when a site I visit or game I play is down and they don't have a good way of conveying details otherwise. But I know of content creators that use it for that, so I'd understand people using it to stay abreast of content that way.

I guess it's because a lot of local news channels and personalities still use twitter.

Mostly because I like to occasionally fuck around with the conspiracy crowd.

I'm not. Twitter was dead to me the moment Musk took over.

Your asking the wrong community. Go ask Reddit this question

I don't have an insta, so I'm not on threads. there's no scaled up site to even come close to challenging twitter.

I'm still there because there is pretty much nowhere else to go. once one of these places actually starts being as active and engaging as twitter I'm going there.

I literally don’t give a single fuck what people are involved with producing the software I use

My best guess: Ignorance is bliss.

(As for me I deleted my Twitter account that moment Elon bought the platform).

Knowing what I know, I’m not. Mastodon is good, but not the same. There needs to be a publicly run version of Twitter, with same algorithms.

There are a lot of friends which my only way to continue having contact is through it.

Also people can be pretty annoying on Mastodon (like many people in this thread as the top comment pointed out) and not a single one of said friends migrated to it

I never used X. I use Facebook
