Lol, I'll never refer to Twitter as X. How silly.

I always refer to it as X, to remember people that the twitter they knew is long dead

“If you're a Twitter diehard who's not willing to swap to X, it might be finally time to ditch X for Mastadon or Threads. On your way out, don't forget to delete your X account.”

Best advice in the article.

I'm on mastodon, but the problem is none of the people I want to follow are (mostly sports press). for now I am relying on bots who just repost their stuff from twitter, and sometimes they go down for long periods of time. at this rate I'm not sure mastodon will ever take off for what I used twitter for.

And threads is equally shitty, or worse than twitter. I begrudgingly signed up for an instagram account to try it, followed a few people, then my feed was crammed full of instagram catfish and sad ass middle aged dudes asking for dates. I get that they're trying to hook you with algorithms, but in the process they've made the service literally unusable.
