A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Why the fuck were they even on X?
Twitter has historically been used as a platform by a lot of different fandoms and the network effect is strong enough that they haven't managed to leave en masse until now
That's what has kept my partner on x. They also go on way less frequently than they used to, but there's still some fandom stuff that is only there.
You expect the masses to leave an app that delivers dopamine just to protest someone they envy over a topic they aren’t even aware of? ;)
I promise you in a year you'll be asking the same question about the same group of people.
