There's a Simpsons episode where Rev. Lovejoy's congregation leaves to follow Marge Simpson. Lovejoy says, "I'm a shepherd without a flock. What have I done to lose them?" Then he has a vision of a saint who responds, "The real question is, what have you done to keep them?" Musk simply hasn't been a good steward of the site. Twitter had many legitimate problems when he acquired it, but it also had many healthy communities and subcultures in it as well. I used it to follow my local government who would post updates on road and bike trail closures. My research community would use it to live-tweet conference presentations and discussions. But the reckless and capricious changes Musk brought about (e.g., blue checks for sale, amplifying random "verified" accounts over non-verified accounts users have opted in to follow) showed that his priorities aren't aligned with those "boring" uses, so eventually my local government stopped using Twitter and my research community did the same. I still follow them on X, but I rarely ever see content from them on my feed.
