  • I stopped when it became X. However it was full of racist, bigotry and hatred before then as well.

    I used it to keep up with some content creators and tech companies but I did so by getting an API key and running a cli that only pulled down messages from who I followed. Made it much more bearable and useful.

    Since the Xittification, API keys are expensive and I’ve either followed them elsewhere, or mostly just given up. Some dropped it, but when you have thousands to millions of followers on a platform, from their side, it’s hard to lose that audience.

    I used to like Twitter when it started, following people and small companies/communities was super easy and the 140char limit nice and terse for both the posters and the ones following. Then it shat the bed and then it got bought out and while some still post there because of followers, most have left or just disappeared.
