I’ve never been an active Twitter user but it surprises me how much they do seem to be getting away with. Does it really not bother most people? Last time I logged in (before deactivating my account like a month ago) it seems like people I followed were still going about using it as usual. I suppose similarly I’m saying that here on Lemmy having migrated from Reddit - and Reddit is very much active after its own drama too, I guess.
People have invested a lot into Twitter. They’ve built social networks there, they have brands or client bases for people who make money and it’s also just where most people are. Leaving means giving up most of what they need or want Twitter for. It’s a captive audience
