Anyone sane has left Xitter already and the crazies stay on their own platform, making the Web generally much more pleasant, as less and less sites link to Xitter.

It's not dead though, it's still linked to everywhere, from big news to niche communities because it still has that critical mass and inertia.

And I have to be cynical of the Fediverse, but realistically, what replaces it, at least here in the US? Discord? No, thanks, I'd at least rather have information be public.

I'm speaking as someone who has never used Twitter, but I can't ignore it, as much as I'd like to.

If you think X is getting linked at anything approaching the level Twitter was back in the day ... where have you been? That platform is slowly bleeding out his billions of investment (well, some of his, but lots of other peoples' money I don't mind seeing burn, either)...

It's still everywhere in my news/internet diet.

It's bleeding, for sure, but it's big. Its gone bad. But I think its premature to say its collapse is a good thing, because it just won't go away.

It will be interesting to see where it ends up after the election, one way or another.
