Serious question, why is any non-nazi posting on twitter?
To use community notes
Ok, now that is actually funny. well played!
Inertia, at least in some cases. It takes a lot of work to rebuild your audience. Leaving is accelerating, though, albeit slowly.
In other words, the so called “Networking Effects” (which have nothing to do with technical networks and are actually about how “people go were people are, so the more people are in a place the more people go there, the more people are there, the more people go there and so on”) in the business of social networking that made a handful of players dominant, are very hard to revert.

It’s becoming like Facebook, which is were people’s parents, uncles and aunts and even grandparents (as well as technically inept organisations) are, but you yourself either moved on or are too young to have ever wanted to be there (“because nobody my age is there”), only whilst Facebook is merelly a Propaganda outlet for the Far Right, Twitter is openly Nazi.
Tech people, especially AI researchers, refuse to leave.
critical mass probably
It such a large network and great at blasting information out. Lots of youtuber/livestreamers still have to eXcrete on x or less they loose their audience. And it’s not just video, writers also depends on the big ole X megaphone to aunuce book releases, beta reader applications etc etc.
Honestly furry artists are probably the freest from X since they have so many of their own social media sites.
You X following even is part of the reason for publishers to pick up your book.
Add to that some police departments actually use to send amber alerts.
You just have the world’s largest public megaphone in an attention based economy. People can’t leave for anything smaller.
Great points, except:
People can’t leave for anything smaller.
They can and some do. It’s still a choice.
technically yes but if leaving means you loose half your income then is it really a choice.
Of course, but it needn’t be black and white. You can also diversify, make yourself less reliant on a single platform. And by doing so, enable your audience to follow you elsewhere. Or diversify into different activities altogether. And when it’s no longer half your income on the line, then switch.
But doing nothing and saying, “but half my income!”? That’s not only a choice, but also complacency.
True they could spend the extra time poating on blusky first. Thrn on Twitter with a note that all posts are posted first on blusky. Enough people do that it would move the audience. But then people need to care enough to spend that extra time and care about what platform is used. Moat people care Twitter in the same way they care about ipv4 vs ipv6 addresses. Sad but true.
Great, so make it a public utility.
Although insta has been making inroads, it was the default in Japan for a long time for govt info, shop notifications (bars, art galleries, you name it), as well as other customer interaction.
Nobody should use that app. It is a scurge to humanity.
Folks need to make the switch to literally anything else
Every time i saw a screenshot of these i was really confused why they were still around despite Musk being Musk.
If you still use twitter (no, asshole, you don’t get to own a letter of the alphabet - fuck off) then you are part of the problem.
I prefer to call it Xitter, with the X pronounced the Chinese way
Yep, this should be standard practice.
And we can call individual messages Xits.
ban it already
Wow, not too long after Facebook adopted the same tactic. They chose to drop their previous processes in favor of having their users take care of it.
Sounds like this is just Twitter struggling to run their platform in the wake of a data center fire though.
Shut it down! Shut it down!
Why would anyone with any hint of common sense “raise questions” about this. There are no questions here.
Eu please put up or shut up. Either hold X accountable, or just say they are big to regulate and can do whatever
