This is not a SFW instance. NSFW communities will be tagged, and efforts will be made to keep SFW communities clean, but proceed at your own comfort level.
Yep, and sector. Twitter active usage dropped a lot after musk bought it but then rebounded a bit, so it’s still in the hundreds of millions from what I can work out
Yep, and in Norway if you don’t have Facebook you are just as well shut out. Building association (that you live in), businesses, schools, it’s ridiculous.
I think if you stick to this you end up with a No True Scotsman. There are lots of obviously smart people on Twatter, they just happen not to agree on this one thing
Friction. They’re already well-established on Twitter and they don’t want to spend the time, money, and effort starting from scratch on another platform.
I see this take only on Lemmy. Any time I’ve asked anyone IRL and there’s a good chance they don’t even know what bluesky is, much less Nitter or the fediverse.
Have the gov and most parties announce they switch to Bluesky and/or the Fediverse, and suddenly journalists will talk about it, and many more people will hear of it.
Note: far-right parties will tend to stick on X, because algos favor them, and that’s where their audience is. If they don’t switch, I won’t complain…
Oh let me tell you. Cause people beyond the western sphere are unaware of the tom foolery Elon has done all over the years.
Practically everywhere the liberals have a very small political voice. Political priorities are cut very differently between the parties than it is in the west. Because of this, very few people are even giving these issues a voice. Most people aren’t even aware, and if they are, it’s just background noise to them. Like yeah, Elon did a nazi salute in the white house, what does a guy from Bangladesh have to do with that?
People blame Americans for not knowing about the world, but pretty much everywhere people are just as unaware of what’s happening outside their country, as most Americans are, in fact far more. Sometimes as a non American I’ve felt people hold Americans to a really high standard in this regard.
I don’t get why so many organizations still post to X. All sane people left years ago, so only the insane use it.
Unfortunately this isn’t true
Massively differs by region

It’s more general Meta here in Germany, I think. Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp
Maybe not insane, but only dumb or — at best — clueless people still use Twitter at this point.

A lot of organizations are local. I get international ones, but western politicians and local orgs do lot have that excuse.
And I don’t get why we don’t combat climate change. People are dumb as fuck and corpos are greedy.
