In my eyes, news outlets like for example ProPublica had started to lose respect, because they still use Twitter like nothing ever happened.

Why they don't leave like what The Guardian did or like the other news outlets?

Are they too corporate internally to leave Twitter?

It's a bit of a dilemma. If you leave, you'll also leave Twitter's (still large) userbase to freely be manipulated by the far-right without any objections. If you stay, you support a network owned and controlled by a fascist. By continuing to provide content you encourage other people to stay on the platform. I'm personally in favor of everyone leaving, but I understand why some organizations don't. The least they should do is establish a presence on other networks so nobody has to use Twitter to see their content though.
