Beats the fuck out of me. I’ve just warned 4 people I know who’re still on it. Two of them I expect will and have switched to alts I’ve suggested them to. One already outright deleted. The last one isn’t concerned because “long as I don’t post my personal info, things are okay!”. It’s like, dude, just being on a platform and knowing what you stand for is going to be exploited by assholes on that platform. Save yourself the headache and just hop off.
I know a couple of people who still insist on staying there. “It’s where I get the news and the fun memes and shit talk”. I presented a mastodon instance focused on brazilian portuguese, but they just “meh” at it.
Does that last friend not understand that just because you don’t post personal info doesn’t mean it can’t be easily found by crazy people? Like it’s pretty easy to find peoples info even when they use fake names nowadays
Except for the nuking of 3rd party apps none of these other changes has affected me personally so the answer to why am I still there is the same why I joined to begin with.
Why is anyone still using Twitter at this point?

My Twitter account exists exclusively for posting links to mastodon.
Exclusively using it for NAFO.
