Why are people still on Twitter/X? I don’t get it. The X on the building reminds me of a certain other letter on buildings in a certain country. People must be mad to still be carrying on as usual on there.
Back when I was emotionally invested in software development, there was one fact that pervades everything and that’s that people hate change.
And yet they are mostly people with amazing fortitude, adapting well to health threats and not caring what anyone else thinks of them continuing to wear masks and not care about going to restaurants etc. So it’s mind boggling that they can’t see what’s happened to Twitter and are still on there just because “everyone else who cares about covid” supposedly is… according to them…
People indeed hate change, and they’re fundamentally lazy. The easiest, most status quo thing you can do is nothing.
As a tumblrina I resent your usage of “the hellsite” for Musk’s thing.
Well I resent your need to defend a fascist site.
I don’t know where you got “defend” from.

Can someone explain this for me?

Ah, right, thanks. I didn’t get it because that ain’t a letter…
Why are people still on Twitter
Because some fairly major services (i.e local police, fire, municipality, closures, etc.) use it as the main source of providing information.
It’s more than mildly infuriating, since it’s a hit to accessibility, privacy, usability, and sanity.
If these places simply used their own, official website to pass on important news, I’d have absolutely zero need for a twitter account.
