This might be the wrong crowd to ask as I suspect Fediverse users would favor Mastodon over X.

I follow numerous sources that ether only post on X or if they do post on masadon etc no one replies to anything / there is zero discussion.

I'm not, but the PR guy at work still does most of his communication there. It's because that's where both news and rumors spread. If you're not active, you come back and suddenly everyone is convinced you've done, or have plans to do something horrible. You basically have to sit there and deal with the abuse, just in case you actually have done something horrible. He isn't a particularly happy guy.

I used to post amateur photography there. I do still miss the community. It was far more engaged and supportive than anywhere else I've found.

Not everyone has moved on to Bluesky yet

I'm a follower, I don't post, reply, like, or anything. I just want to see what the people I follow have to say, and they haven't moved anywhere else.

My account was locked, and I haven't the interest to unlock it just to get off Twitter. I never open the app/ website. I've had a nitter front end when I do need to see a meme from there. I haven't used it, lately.

A lot of youtubers and such only make announcements for content and streams via twitter, or their own services that kind of suck worse in terms of access. In order to stay on top of some limited access content, twitter is still "useful" in that regard.

Personally, I've never used it for that, I mostly ever checked twitter when a site I visit or game I play is down and they don't have a good way of conveying details otherwise. But I know of content creators that use it for that, so I'd understand people using it to stay abreast of content that way.

I left a long time ago already, nothing of value to be found there anymore.

I'm not. Twitter was dead to me the moment Musk took over.

Still very active. More so than here. But I still use it for sports. Particularly NBA and NFL content. My fav NFL team has an amazing group of fans on there and it’s some really funny dudes.

All major sports news breaks their first and all the major beat writers still use it. There is no better alternative. I’m on mastodon and it doesn’t even remotely compare.

Reddit was my go to previously but killing third party apps I dipped and my X usage tripled. Reddit was just cross posting sports news that broke on X first anyways so it was better going to the source.

Took a bunch of curating my timeline but I get 0 political bullshit and 0 musk bullshit… strictly sports and in that capacity it’s great.

My best guess: Ignorance is bliss.

(As for me I deleted my Twitter account that moment Elon bought the platform).

Because there's still a strong football/soccer community there, along with Reddit

Not me, but my dad.

The only reason he stays is because of the politicians and news outlets he follows. He knows Twitter is trash now, but if that’s where the people he’s following are staying, then he stays too. He has heard of Mastodon and looked into it, but it’s unfortunate most politicians won’t migrate over there.

I like low-end advertising

The only time I'm ever there is because it has information or news I need. Unfortunately a lot of industry folk use it to post information even though it's the worst fucking UI for it. I don't think I've ever browsed their front page.

Deleting my account now means Musk wins.

Because I like the way Molly feels.

I’m there to autoblock all of Elon’s advertising.

I’m there specifically to annoy you.

Also there are people using their real names sharing their real lives for me to give a shit about. The Maui community is strong there. People disappear from Twitter and I wonder what happened. If people disappear from here I wouldn’t notice.

There is literally no other realistic alternative too it; they're simply all too small. I still follow many trusted news sources and politicians on it as well as fandoms.

I don't understand, why should I care about what interchangeable capitalist owns the social media I use?

Research. Many people I'm interested in still use Twitter. And I hate how Nitter instances globally have started to become rate limited or outright obliterated by Twitter API weirdness/

My entire fandoms are there. Also twitter is ok if you follow the right people, you don't depend on the trending list and you dgaf about follower count.
