In my eyes, news outlets like for example ProPublica had started to lose respect, because they still use Twitter like nothing ever happened.
Why they don’t leave like what The Guardian did or like the other news outlets?
Are they too corporate internally to leave Twitter?
I would guess it’s because there are no other alternatives to X that are as big and as popular.
Easy as well. Things like Bluesky could be a bit confusing for newcomers
Mastodon, the alternative I hoped took off, has a confusing onboarding process for non-techies. But Bluesky’s is not confusing at all, it’s as good as Twitter’s ever was
I haven’t tried it, but it’s just not as big as X.
Bluesky?
Small AF.
It got a bit more popularity over the last half of year. Not as big as X, but not small AF and it’s the best “easy” alternative. The best “hard” alternative is mastodon, what makes it “hard” is it’s very fragmented and it takes some efforts to pick instance, to understand consequences of your choice, and to figure out how to use your feed for different scenarios.
