The only path forward for Xitter is:
1. The Normies leave
2. The advertisers follow
3. It devolves into a 4chan-esque cesspool that no one else takes seriously.
If you’re dual-posting here and on Xitter, I invite you to consider not doing that anymore. You’re not reaching your audience there anyway

New: Federal, state and local officials leading the Hurricane Helene relief efforts are facing vicious antisemitic online hate and real-world threats, fueled on Elon Musk's X, where anti-Jewish conspiracy posts are racking up tens of millions of views. Gift link: wapo.st/4eQKjFd

You are right, posting is pointless, my reach is now about 2% of what it was
Of course, Musk can see what a great platform it is, because the algorithm has been bent around the gravity of his ego
And that is because it is still being confused for social media when it is a powerful propaganda megaphone for autocrats, racists, and Republicans.
It will devolve into 4chan and the normies will stay put.
Twitter is majority bots/fake accounts now and from what I gather from afar most of the actual real accounts are facist or similar, so who is left that are considered normies (serious question)

But the quality of people has declined.
4. When X is seized and the servers scraped because of one or more scandals or travesties are traced back, don’t you want to shrug and say “I haven’t logged on in months?”

1. The Normies AND the leftists leave
2. The advertisers follow.
3. It devolves into an 8chan-esque cesspool and eventually is relegated to an alt-right ISP and loses it's Cloudflare contract after an incident or two.
The problem with platforms like X is that the strategy of "More Speech" in response to bad speech isn't working.
Is that not what has already happened?
