Because I like the way Molly feels.
Because Wayland is a hot mess.

Any time I make a sale, there’s an automatic post made on X to help promote dem titties. Aside from that, I don’t use it unless I’m following a link from lemmy.
This might be the wrong crowd to ask as I suspect Fediverse users would favor Mastodon over X.
Question does not apply to them, only X users.
I have never been on X, please stop assuming that everyone is on X.
I was on Twitter for a few weeks many years ago, but I can’t even remember my username now.
I mean, if that’s the case then the question isn’t meant for you :/
Then OP should have posed the question like this:
“Those of you who are still on X despite Elon Musk’s antics, why?”
It’s very reasonable to implicit read that meaning into the question. Like if I am at a dinner table and ask “how is the turkey” I reasonably understand that only the people who are eating the turkey would answer. I don’t have to say, “for those of you who are eating turkey and have taken a bit, how is the turkey”. This is doubly true for social media where everything is a mass broadcast.
I know. Me me me!!!
Your question assumed that everybody reading it had an account on X.
Depends on how you read it. If you make it all about yourself, then ok.
I left the day Elon took over, but there are a lot of marginalized/unique social groups still on X that haven’t migrated to other platforms. So I know some people stay because they can’t 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.
I’m not.
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.
I’m not. Twitter was dead to me the moment Musk took over.
I’m not. Never have been
Darn it, all this time I thought I was on Lemmy!
Never was
I have an account for, eventually, marketing. It’s still widely used and so if I want my venture to be successful, I’d be foolish to avoid a place to be found, even if I find the owner to be distasteful at bare minimum.
Inb4 fifty comments all saying “I’m not on twitter/x.”
Hey, I’m not either, but we aren’t who this thread is for, please and thank you
Please upvote this so people see it and think before making a shitty throwaway comment that adds absolutely zero to discussion.
Edit: fucking called it
Then why didn’t OP say “For those of you still on X/Twitter, “?
because it’s clearly implied by the title and they said as much elsewhere in the comments
but don’t let that get in the way of you being a pedantic ass
I mean, you’re the one who actually commented saying you’re not on it. Admittedly, you did say that it was a shitty comment right after making it.
Good job on taking my advice and keep staying pedantic!
Your advice isn’t directed at me, because I’m on Twitter. Look, I agree with you that those comments are shitty, but OP should know that if you ask shitty questions, you’ll get shitty answers.
Lmao you don’t know what pedantic means, do you? woooooosh
This… Also, what a loaded and opinionated question. It implies that you shouldn’t be on X because of Elon Musk, if OP was genuinely curious about why someone uses X, they could have asked a neutral question: “Are you using X? Why or why not?” or “If you are using X, why and how?”. This currently just reflects the OP’s opinion for validation I guess?
-
Its 2024 and this isn’t an unpopular opinion that OP holds
-
Its AskLemmy, not a fucking serious news organization or something. Who cares if its loaded and opinionated? Validate OP’s opinion away!

Similarly to Snot Flickerman, I also believe that this thread will be filled with comments about not being on twitter, as that seems to be a common demographic of lemmy.
And also similarly to Snot Flickerman, I’ll make use of this opportunity to become the very thing I resent in this thread by mentioning that I’m also not on twitter.
Ah I see the pedantic asses are out in force today!
Much like the “I’m not on twitter” folks, you’re not nearly as clever or original as you think you are! Ta-ta!
Jokes on you, I’m not in this thread
I like how those people didn’t appreciate you taking away their circlejerk opportunity, so just downvoted you instead 😂
I swear half of Lemmy is just people talking about how they don’t use Twitter or Reddit.
I feel like my comment is the only one that even attempts to answer the question.
Pretty predictable though. Lemmy is even less mainstream than Mastodon so I would expect most people here to be way outside mainstream social media’s target audience.
Nothing but upvotes on kbin
Well, la dee da.
I’m blue la buh dee la dee dah
One third Trekkies, one third talking about how shit twitter and Reddit are, one third content.
I haven’t been active on Twitter / X for years. My last proper tweet was in November 2022 when I asked people to follow me on Mastodon instead.
I still have my account though. Mostly because friends occasionally send me links to news tweets that X won’t show me without being logged in. And because customer support for some service providers (especially DHL, GLS and some other logistics companies) suddenly gets a lot more helpful when you complain in public instead of calling them and they don’t have Mastodon accounts.
