    I get updates on X from my local news and police stations about traffic, weather, etc. We’d need to get this type of stuff into another single platform before many people would switch.

      How will they switch if they’re already consolidated where they are? People are employed to manage these accounts, it’ll just be their responsibility to migrate to the new platform.

        That’s the problem, we need a platform that’s popular enough to catch their attention/make it worth the effort to post twice - which is half the reason anyone is still using Twitter. Trust me, I’m no fan of it and I avoid the comment section like the plague :/

      If you have to use Twitter I recommend using squawker if you have android. Unfollow everyone from Twitter just use squawker to subscribe to accounts which provides a subscription feed that is local without adding the account followers.

      Not a good idea to use the official Twitter app anyways with all the data collecting it can do and adding to follower counts adds added pressure to keep a presence there. Just turn into a ghost when it comes to Twitter usage.
