    Why does anyone still use this pile of crap anyway since the kid took over?

      Pretty sure users have mostly left.

      Companies and public figures keep using it, because for most of them it’s just some intern or bot that was posting.

      It takes a while for social media to finally die because of that. They’ll just stumble on like a zombie for like a decade.

      The only way it’ll happen faster, is if people loudly boycott anyone that’s still using it. But with 99% of social media sucking ass, there’s not really a place to do it from where companies and public figures will hear it.

        most news breaks on there first

        I’ve learned about Apple pausing their ads and about Sam Altman being fired on Mastodon. it’s been becoming much better replacement for Twitter in that regard, and is only going to continue to improve.

          I mean sporting news. I use mastodon and regularly check AP and Reuters for actual news. Mastodon isn’t even close to Twitter when it comes to sports.

      For the same reason I started using it in the first place. Elon taking over haven’t changed my user experience in any way. It’s the same it has always been. Ironically enough it’s also the only social media platform where my feed is 99.5% free of politics or talk about Elon.
