I don't have any URLs for this one, but one thing that I noticed this week gone was several people mentioning that the Fediverse was the place they first learned about the storming of the Brazilian Congress, even before they saw it on main stream media. Historically this almost real time access to information on unfolding events was a niche that Twitter played, but for many people, but that seems to have changed.
