The furry porn community is still licking their wounds over losing Tumblr, and a lot of the big artists just donβt want to have to rebuild their community for the second time, so thatβs where they are. I donβt like that I have to go to such a cesspool, but damnit, thatβs where the furry porn is.

Because they won't let me delete my account. It's been locked for like 3 years without any real reason. And I know people say that all the time but since 2017 I've made 4 posts, a dnd beyond giveaway and 3 gleam ones. Submitted request for deletion or unlock enough to loose track. When shit dick took over I figured itd be easier, what with all the horrible people gettin their accounts back an all, but still no.
what about posting offensive stuff? "Slide your democrate dick into my feces! Oh, I like the Musk y smell!"
I'll work!

I only have an account to bitch at my ISP whenever I have network issues. It's the only place where they actually do customer support for some reason.
They stopped showing their phone number on their website. The only other option is a piece of shit whatsapp bot that just tells you to restart your router.
Luckily I only run into problems I can't fix by myself like once per year at most. Don't have the app installed. Just go through Firefox.
I left the day Elon took over, but there are a lot of marginalized/unique social groups still on X that havenβt migrated to other platforms. So I know some people stay because they canβt find the same thing on mastodon, kbin, blue sky, etc.
It's been long since I deleted my reddit account, but I occasionally still open up subs that matter to me, like my local city subreddit, and a few other niche places, despite not being logged in. Why? Because that's about the only place I can find them.
Deleting my account now means Musk wins.
How?
With sarcasm, that's how.
Knowing what you know about USA, why are you still living there? /s
To be fair, deleting an optional account and not using it is far easier than emigrating to another country.
So not really a great example for your point.

I have an account for, eventually, marketing. Itβs still widely used and so if I want my venture to be successful, Iβd be foolish to avoid a place to be found, even if I find the owner to be distasteful at bare minimum.
I just really like the content of Twitter. Yes there are many stupid fights and debates but some of my favorite source of memes comes from there. To summarize, memes and pretty fast general world news.
Unfortunately Twitter/X is still the fastest way to find Japanese fan bases for almost everything. For example Baldur's Gate 3 just got its Japanese launch last month, and it's been fun to see their thoughts since they are not familiar with DND settings or CRPG all together. Many Japanese users I follow don't like what Musk's doing to Twitter as well, but they are also not sure about other platforms so it's kind of it is what it is situation now.
Post about lemmy.
Because my city deems it is still a good idea to post important announcements about roadworks and water interruptions/boil advisory there exclusively :/
You don't need an account to see those posts, right?
To view a specific tweet you don't, but as soon as you want to see more tweets by that same account without a direct link you get to a login page.

These days, you functionally do.
You can only view a single tweet at a time when not logged in, which can be a struggle if youre trying to just see updates in general and aren't seeking a specific post.
I know because I have a friend who still sends me links to make them useful I have to put them in Nitter.

I stopped posting but keep the account active because a lot of the Japanese artists I follow have stopped using other sites that were once pretty standard and never moved away from Twitter. There are also some people I don't want to lose touch with that never moved away.

The only reason I still use reddit is because of its huge NSFW communities.
That's one of the biggest reasons why I don't. I was angry I had to start logging in to visit those.
You can get around that by using old.reddit as you can click past the NSFW filter without signing in.
I wish I had something more significant to contribute, but... yeah. Mood.
Porn is the best and possibly only reason to stay on twitter. In fact I wish everyone who deleted their account goes and makes a porn following account until the app stores hands are forced to delisting it and even less advertisers pay for spots. Plus there's some good ass porn there. Or at least there was last I checked, admittedly it's been a while.
I'm not
I can't even try using an alternative redirect because apparently all of them are blocked.
