> X has become the news source that is hard to ignore.
Much the opposite for me, had an account since early 2007, my handle was even my name + last name. Mostly lurked there to get breaking news, some art, and threads of relevance to whatever was up in tech.
Completely erased my account a few months ago after getting fed up with absolutely irrelevant posts on my feed since 2 years ago, it only got worse over time with Nazi jokes popping up increasingly more, bullshit American politics infighting, edgy assholes sharing hateful hot takes on some minority, etc. Even though I strictly followed only bigger news institutions, some tech folks, a few independent musicians/photographers.
I deleted the account because there was simply no value anymore to even glance at my feed, it was full of crap, barely any of the breaking news or interesting stuff I was used to 10+ years ago.
It's been much easier to ignore than I expected, even more the past 6-10 months with viable alternatives for the type of content I used to see there without the edgy Nazi jokes or promoted Elon tweet.
