Any time I make a sale, there's an automatic post made on X to help promote dem titties. Aside from that, I don't use it unless I'm following a link from lemmy.

Really only to get notifications of weather stuff from my local NWS office.
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.
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.
Your asking the wrong community. Go ask Reddit this question
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.
I second this!
Even Mastodon is not even cutting it close.
My best guess: Ignorance is bliss.
(As for me I deleted my Twitter account that moment Elon bought the platform).
Knowing what I know, Iβm not. Mastodon is good, but not the same. There needs to be a publicly run version of Twitter, with same algorithms.
I donβt care about the opinions of the CEO when I use the product their company makes. If I did, my entire house would be empty except for one jar of organic honey.
Sports. I can get a hundred tweets of highlights almost instantly on Twitter.
I never used it even before he bought it.
I literally donβt give a single fuck what people are involved with producing the software I use
Because I like the way Molly feels.
I left a long time ago already, nothing of value to be found there anymore.
I left Twitter exactly 24 days before it was rebranded to X. Let's just say I'm glad I made that move.
Because why would improving the site make me not use it?
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.
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.
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.
