Considering they dismantled every control they had to prevent disinformation, and it was already a cesspool to begin with... Why are people still using Twitter?

Sadly these still a lot of folks on there that haven't moved elsewhere. If you curate your follower lists and don't venture into the replies of big/ trending accounts then it's still manageable. Mostly I just use to to read people I follow rather than post anything new myself these days.

Also, I've feeds of decent journalists that I've built up over many years that don't post elsewhere. There's still that immediacy that you just don't get elsewhere.
