Most journalists have, sad to say, stuck with the deadbird site. They shouldn't, and one of our finest political journo-activists, @msifry, says of X/Twitter "Enough wrestling with the pig. Time to go." https://theconnector.substack.com/p/finishing-with-twitterx?utm_campaign=email-post&r=qs4z&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Sadly ppl want to keep the reach and are #willing to pay the #price ..
I have a #similar issue with #google services
Not having a - no matter how #tiny - #soapbox to stand on is a #problem
If #ActivityPub was more well received and ingrained we'd have atruly #opensource web.
(Spider .. Web ?)
Sadly the ones calling the shots are srill moneybags and #adverisers
Like in all of #human #history

@alcea right, but another way to put that is that Twitter provides its users with the value and experience they want, better than Mastodon/Fediverse does, and this platform should take that as a call to improve.
Journalists need reach. It's fundamental to their profession.

@alcea to many, YES!
Maybe you or I aren't into that, but different people are different, and a lot of people want that sort of experience, so they value it.
