Although insta has been making inroads, it was the default in Japan for a long time for govt info, shop notifications (bars, art galleries, you name it), as well as other customer interaction.
To use community notes
Ok, now that is actually funny. well played!
- Non-Westerner that never have or realized alternative platform exist.
- Artist that dependant on mainstream social media reach. (some artists already have 100K+ followers there, fedi also have limited reach due to instance blocking, e.g. you're on Mastodon.art and want to reach Japanese audience (mainly misskey.io, but t was defederated on most of Western instance.)
- People with social network bubble outside Westernsphere, they only have exclusively local feed on their Twitter.
- People outside Westernsphere that already tried fediverse, but moving back as fediverse is still Western-centric or does not have their own community on feidverse.
- Community that does not have monetary power to invest on their own fedi instance.
- People who need to follow various government entities that are only on twitter and facebook.
For those people they should all contact the government agencies that are still on Twitter and demand they switch to Bluesky.
When is the last time you demanded a government agency do something that wasn't already their idea, and they did it
If people of your country is more likely to use Twitter, moving to Bluesky is not even realistic.
Also, for a lot of countries, moving to Bluesky is like moving from American controlled platform to the same American controlled platform.
Or mastodon.
Been using Mastodon for about two years now and never going back.
Bluesky is not a true alternative. Just recently there were news about them banning opposition accounts in Turkey.

Some friends of mine also think Twitter just has better content to consume when scrolling through. Too comfy & don't care enough about who runs it & the issues to jump off. It gives them what they want.
It's becoming like Facebook, which is were people's parents, uncles and aunts and even grandparents (as well as technically inept organisations) are, but you yourself either moved on or are too young to have ever wanted to be there ("because nobody my age is there"), only whilst Facebook is merelly a Propaganda outlet for the Far Right, Twitter is openly Nazi.
Inertia, at least in some cases. It takes a lot of work to rebuild your audience. Leaving is accelerating, though, albeit slowly.

It such a large network and great at blasting information out. Lots of youtuber/livestreamers still have to eXcrete on x or less they loose their audience. And it's not just video, writers also depends on the big ole X megaphone to aunuce book releases, beta reader applications etc etc.
Honestly furry artists are probably the freest from X since they have so many of their own social media sites.
You X following even is part of the reason for publishers to pick up your book.
Add to that some police departments actually use to send amber alerts.
You just have the world's largest public megaphone in an attention based economy. People can't leave for anything smaller.
Great points, except:
People can’t leave for anything smaller.
They can and some do. It’s still a choice.

Great, so make it a public utility.
Some people continue to gaslight themselves into thinking there is something to be gained from the audience they once had

Nobody should use that app. It is a scurge to humanity.
Folks need to make the switch to literally anything else
Someone is very mad all their posts kept getting naughty notes!
ban it already
If you still use twitter (no, asshole, you don't get to own a letter of the alphabet - fuck off) then you are part of the problem.
I prefer to call it Xitter, with the X pronounced the Chinese way
Yep, this should be standard practice.
And we can call individual messages Xits.
elon has never liked community notes; they were just a holdover from old twitter and he's been desperate to get rid of it.
Eu please put up or shut up. Either hold X accountable, or just say they are big to regulate and can do whatever
Every time i saw a screenshot of these i was really confused why they were still around despite Musk being Musk.
Wow, not too long after Facebook adopted the same tactic. They chose to drop their previous processes in favor of having their users take care of it.
Sounds like this is just Twitter struggling to run their platform in the wake of a data center fire though.
