It’s because no other social media platform currently meets their requirements. Other platforms either functions significantly different from twitter or it lacks the reach that a politician needs in order for it to be worth their time.
That requirement is just attention whoring
It is their job to gain attention, yes. Did you think all those journalists and politicians where hobbyists or something?
It’s their jobs to be published at their places of work. Not attention whore. And how many journalists are on there anyway? What percentage of Twitter users are full time professional writers?
I bet it’s less than 1% of all traffic on that site.
I think they know how to do their jobs better than us. That is why we are talking about them and they are not talking about us.
Yeah how did all those journalists survive before twitter?! Your not convincing me of anything. Twitter is for attention whores.
Your resistance to opposing viewpoints is admirable.
“Worth their time” ? Copy\paste the text into Mastodon. Post Done
I can empathize with the reluctance to completely jump ship but it costs nothing (both money and time) to cross post to another platform.
Last time I was on mastodon during one of the many twitter migrations there was a long post saying that people should hold of on auto-blocking people that don’t caption the images they post because new user haven’t learned the cultural rules of mastodon. Is that a thing? I don’t know, could be a particular part of mastodon, I don’t know. Point is that serious public figures have been trained to be careful when adopting new social media.
yeah but nobody uses mastodon
