Twitter (X) is doing great and has added tons of new features. What do you mean it's totally collapsed? I use it daily.

Ok elon-simp, unfortunately most of the users I engage with left because elon is toxic. Twitter is now only tolerable by other elon-simps.

  Besides your insults, can you provide any examples of Elon being "toxic" on twitter? There's tons of people on Twitter who don't like Elon, so that part of your statement is false.

        Talking frankly about folks who decide to detransition is not transphobia. Retweeting articles (he didn't RT the NYT article, which to be clear I did not read and have no opinion on, but instead a blog post talking about it) that uses slugs like "nyt-opinion-hey-maybe-letting-kids-inalterably-mutilate-their-bodies-isnt-such-a-great-idea-after-all", and starts with "In a largely thoughtful, meticulously documented and thorough review of the state of trans madness" is absolutely transphobia. (I mostly leave this comment for anyone who is coming to read this discussion later so they can understand the context, I don't believe that you are going to be convinced here and certainly I am not either, so I don't plan on responding more.)

  Please don't start or perpetuate flamewars on HN. They're tedious, nasty, not what this site is for, and destroy what it is for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Virtually everyone I know left. That's the most important part of a social network. What's left is almost exclusively things I do not care about. Many of those new features contributed to its decline.

  I can see how that would ruin the platform for you. Doesn't mean it collapsed, but I get the point of your language now.

    In the same vein, it doesn't mean it hasn't collapsed because you still use it.

      No, but the statistics tip in the favor that it's doing better than ever. X just rated #1 news iOS app in 163 countries.

        "The statistics" That's my argument, #1 news iOS app means nothing
