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.

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

My favorites artists are still on there, I usually spend 2 minutes on there to see what they're posting and leave, I wish they had mastodon account tho

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.

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/

I don't have an insta, so I'm not on threads. there's no scaled up site to even come close to challenging twitter.

I'm still there because there is pretty much nowhere else to go. once one of these places actually starts being as active and engaging as twitter I'm going there.

Because there are a lot more people, breaking news, and content on there compared to anywhere else.

I guess it's because a lot of local news channels and personalities still use twitter.

Mostly because I like to occasionally fuck around with the conspiracy crowd.

I have the distinction of having made my current presence on there a literal 24 hours before Musk announced he was going through with buying Twitter. By the time he was shown to be the kind of person he was, it had already become an inseparable piece of my mind and creations. If he bans me for speaking out against him, that will be a sign. Maybe this will be my speed bump.

Knowing what I know, I’m not. Mastodon is good, but not the same. There needs to be a publicly run version of Twitter, with same algorithms.

UFOX and UFOTwitter hashtags. All other major social media are censoring the topic (including Reddit, which once was supposed to be open). Lately, Twitter started doing so too (it barely suggests ufo topics for me in the last month, even if that's the only reason I'm there), but the hashtags still work as expected. Unfortunately, on all the fediverse media, the topic is still laughed at (despite the various government admissions in the past year), and so there isn't any discussion about it. Twitter is where it's at, for that topic.

Edit: Proving my point, providing a truthful answer to the topic's question, and still been downvoted by the fediverse en mass.

I never used X. I use Facebook

Because too few people link Nitter therefore I need to find usernames to plug in by going to Twitter. Don't have an account and never will.

Really only to get notifications of weather stuff from my local NWS office.

Sports. I can get a hundred tweets of highlights almost instantly on Twitter.

Because I don’t care about how the owner of the service is.
