Twitter.

Insanely popular online yet I've never met a single soul in real life who even has an account. My cousin literally just made his first one to promote his band, like a week ago.

imo, Mastodon replaces Twitter, and effectively would if everyone moved at once. Most news, if it isn't there is mirrored there.

There is the whole trans porn and titties situation on any default account, tho, same as lemmy.

I am literally only on Twitter for the porn at this point. If I want actually intelligent microblogging I just peruse Mastodon via my Kbin account.

People that are still on xitter today are mostly terminally online people that doesn't have a social circle outside of their xitter circle. Yea Mastodon feels like early day Twitter with lots of people just replying to what they found while exploring shit. However, it won't reach critical mass if the influencers don't move to it. Part of the reason Twitter got big in the first place is you can see lots of celebrities being candid there. I remember Hamilton's meltdown on Twitter because he didn't see his teammate in his follower list.

I have a Twitter account. I haven’t used it in at least 7 years.

I also tried to make one a few years ago called realDonaldTrumpParody, but Twitter wanted my phone number so I gave up on that
