I get that many people don’t like it and has left but I still haven’t figured out why non-twitter users are urging the rest of us to leave the platform. What do you care? Really
Because it’s not even Twitter anymore. It is called X, a MLM platform for neo-nazis. By stubbornly using the platform you are keeping their dream alive.
It seems obvious to me. Twitter has historically been used by public figures, and especially public institutions like local governments, transit agencies, etc, to make official announcements & statements. Of course having that on a centrally owned social media site was never good, but now with Space Karen making it actively hostile to users (and trying to prevent logged out users from seeing that info), it’s very bad. The sooner Twitter completes its inevitable collapse, the sooner those public figures & institutions will move to a better way to deliver those - Mastodon, RSS, webpages, whatever.
IMO it’s in the public’s best interest for all the holdouts to get out now so we can move on.
I mean you still get served the ads that provide them revenue.
But it’s not like I’m assigning you personal responsibility for keeping them in business, or saying you’re wrong or bad for staying. Just sharing why I want people to get off the platform quicker.
Stop using Twitter. Seriously, people, stop using Twitter. It’s not going to get better.
Think of this as an IQ test. Those that pass come here, those that fail get Zuck’d, Musk’d & Spez’d.

What if I hang in the art community and none of that has zero relevance to me?

Adblocker deals with that
Get off Twitter, stupid ass
Your interactions still fuel the platform

the moment my Japanese artists switch over to another app, I switch. I can’t live without them 😭
Most Japanese artists have a Pixiv or Nijie account. You should be able to move most of your follows to those services.
A lot are also jumping ship to misskey.io, which you can follow if you use mastodon/pleroma/misskey/etc.
I suspect the small amount of holdouts will soon create an alternative as well.
