As a recovering #Twitter addict, I've gone 3+ weeks without posting there since it became "X".
Had a peek at it again – I feel disgusted even when I begin to type "twitter.com" and see that darn #X pop up.
Lots of ads, spam, ridiculous "engagement" posts (eg. "if this gets 100 likes I'll do this") and just generally noise when compared to the Fediverse.
Why people, especially artists, are still posting on there other than to communicate with friends, I have no idea.
