You do realize most people use it to keep up on things they follow, but don't post, right? It's a nice centralized location.

Reddit has issues with freedom of expression that Twitter does better.

You know it hasn't existed for very long? There were things before Twitter, there will be things after Twitter. People found out about shit long before tweets existed. I probably won't follow the goal posts on this one, so no need to move them again. I have a Twitter account. I've logged into it MAYBE 5 times. I still keep up on "things that I follow." I simply use other resources.

Oh, I also don't give a shit about the Musk drama. I find it funny people get so worked up about it. Doesn't mean the concept of the app is worth a shit.
