Deleting my account now means Musk wins.

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'm not

I can't even try using an alternative redirect because apparently all of them are blocked.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I never used X. I use Facebook

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.

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.

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

I left Twitter exactly 24 days before it was rebranded to X. Let's just say I'm glad I made that move.
