Curious if anyone here is still finding a need for X network in their day to day lives?
I was never big on Twitter so had no trouble leaving when Elon bought.
I never got onto twitter in the first place. I got a bit concerned when governments and NGOs started using it as the default shopfront from which they interacted with the public.
You can delete a tweet, but you can't delete a press conference.
You can delete a toot on your own instance, that's not ran by an elongated muskrat
Lol 😆
My highschool band made me create an account for updates and announcements, never really used it since.
The biggest problem is articles online still quoting, linking to, and embedding Tweets
I mainly use Mastodon now but sadly, my country's public institutions (such as meteorology and seismology) have no presence in the fediverse. There's also a particular fandom I follow that mainly interacts om Twitter.
I was only lurking but it was usefull to find out why a train is delayed and stuff like that.
Need? No
I do still have an old version of the app installed that I occasionally get interesting notifications from though
Yeah there's a lot of good covid info still on there.
