If you’ve never used it it’s hard to explain. X has far more signal to noise compared to bluesky and mastodon, especially now that the censorship has been turned down. It’s been an asset in the Israel-Hamas conflict as OSInt on X has proven to be unrivaled, especially compared to American media. It pays creators as well, which is why many stay.

I have bsky accounts and plenty of invites, but it’s just a boring, joyless network full of the miserable people who left twitter sharing the same opinions back at each other, a feedback loop is how I’d describe it. I’m guessing that’s who it attracts, similar to how I assume places like Gab also attracted miserable people from the other side. I’d kinda describe that place as all the worst parts of 2020/21 twitter.

There’s also threads I guess, but it just seems like a network of celebrities and brands trying to seem hip.
