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.

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.

Because there are a lot more people, breaking news, and content on there compared to anywhere else.

Knowing what I know, I’m not. Mastodon is good, but not the same. There needs to be a publicly run version of Twitter, with same algorithms.

Your asking the wrong community. Go ask Reddit this question

I'm not. Twitter was dead to me the moment Musk took over.

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.

My best guess: Ignorance is bliss.

(As for me I deleted my Twitter account that moment Elon bought the platform).

There are a lot of friends which my only way to continue having contact is through it.

Also people can be pretty annoying on Mastodon (like many people in this thread as the top comment pointed out) and not a single one of said friends migrated to it

I never used X. I use Facebook

Sports. I can get a hundred tweets of highlights almost instantly on Twitter.

I never used it even before he bought it.

Knowing what you know about USA, why are you still living there? /s
