but for real, who is still using x? i thought it was just a bunch of mouth breather magas at this point.
The people who unfortunately have to get government updates from the place. After Facebook became a pain, Twitter became (for a while, when you didn't have to log in) a pretty decent way to update people on things like roadworks or weather warnings.
Oddly, many reporters still do
Oh thats going to be bad news when musk sells them all that info
That's still half the US population though.
Everyone who’s not a paranoid leftist uses X; I find current information about every subject I’m interested in seconds
sounds like you do your own research
You sound like you're about to lose your farm
You don't find iinformation, you find hot takes. Xitter is a cesspool if you want to learn about anything.
Wrong, the science community is slowly switching to bluesky
And a bunch of them are on mastodon
You sound like the type of guy who drives a cybertruck and practices Elons "odd hand gesture" in your bedroom at night.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
“Gotta find a way, a better way…”
Lol, Alex Jones style research. Using memes and headlines as news.
Joking for real, or seriously for real? The vast majority of people that used twitter are still using twitter. This applies to users in the united states, of course, but it especially applies to those in the entire rest of the world, where elon's shit largely hasn't crossed the culture/language barrier, or doesn't matter to people.
