Why are you still on that platform though? I am asking genuinely.

This is the new embedded Twitter post on News sites, not on Twitter directly. That's why I clicked the X, wanting it to go away but I ended up on X and gave Elon a click

And maybe that was his idea. He‘d trick people in mass visiting his site with obnoxious embeds that beg you to close them and bam! You‘re right there in the mosch pit.

a lot of my friends are still on twitter and the community we have is quite nice and supportive.

That's fair. It's quite difficult to get whole communities of people move to another platform. I still miss the RuneScape (art) community that was on Twitter. That's really the only thing I miss about the site though, so can't say I regret leaving.

yeah i literally met my boyfriend through twitter, i’m not leaving anytime soon. I’m also using masto and bluesky though.
