Even if you put the major ethical considerations to the side, X is full of bots and scammers - so engagement is pretty much nil. Also, your follower stats is probably false because a lot of people (like me) have left but kept their accounts locked so they cant be impersonated. Get of X. It's time.
Get. Off. Twitter.
Follows mean nothing. Likes mean nothing. Engagement means everything. Twitter has no engagement, just fake numbers/bots.

You don’t need to cross-post. You don’t need to “just check it now and then”. You’re not “losing years of xxxx”

all manner of weird bullshit happened between 2015-2020 but jan 6 2021 should be an clear cutoff point after which a someone’s inability to take a strong and unambiguous stance against trumpism matters
in general — the simple inability to say “orange man bad” without an endless stream of caveats is, in 2025, a very good litmus test

Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

For example….
Republicans are mulling deep cuts in safety net spending, partly to offset big tax cuts aimed mostly at the wealthy. But some programs they propose to cut reach not just the poorest Americans but also struggling working class voters, many of whom helped elect Donald Trump in November.
Trump Drive to Cut Safety Net Could Hit His Voters
The new administration wants to slash aid for health, food and housing, but many of those programs now reach the struggling working class he is courting.

Why resist? In two years, left unchecked, Trump’s policies are going to absolutely wreck his alliance of tech bros, MAGAts, Evangelicals, and far-right sympathizers, so… sure, let him go.
