This is an honest question for people still using X/Twitter and yet complaining about it: why?
It's been obviously going downhill for a while and the reason has been obvious too. The leadership doesn't care about your concerns.
Why not stop using it or move to something else?
There are a bunch of alternatives out there and most people don't have a job that requires them to specifically use Twitter.
Unlike Facebook, where I know I have missed out on communities by not using it, I don't feel like I've ever lost anything by not using Twitter. Anything that goes viral on Twitter these days gets a bunch of mainstream news articles anyway.

- int_19h 2y agoI don't see the difference between it and Mastodon or even Reddit in that regard.
- chipdart 2y ago> This is an honest question for people still using X/Twitter and yet complaining about it: why? I agree. Just stop using it already. What's the value of subscribing to a Kremlin bot sandbox? Sometimes these complaints just sound like attempts to keep people engaged after clearly identifying the elephant in the room.

Anything that goes viral on Twitter these days gets a bunch of mainstream news articles anyway. The residual reason to use twitter isn't stuff that goes viral on Twitter, it is an existing network of specific individuals on Twitter (which ones are different for each user for whom it is an issue) who haven't moved off.
