If you're still on Twitter, you're part of the problem.
why is this downVoted?
I wouldn't even go so far to call Twitter a mistake. But acknowledging that it turned into something you no longer want to support should be even easier.
Musk’s bootlickers, I suppose.
People don't like being criticized or asked to change
Because it's shallow moralism. Not everyone, not even most people who are still there are just staying because they love Elon Musk. Most likely they are there to follow the same people and publications who they were following since before this whole situation, which may not picked a new place to go to just yet.
This might be simple for people who just use it casually or established media and huge celebrities who are guaranteed to find a following wherever they go, but a lot of smaller artists are likely to lose most of their following if they change platforms, because not everyone will be going to the same platforms, or even check if they still have everyone they used to follow in a new place.
