but for real, who is still using x? i thought it was just a bunch of mouth breather magas at this point.

The people who unfortunately have to get government updates from the place. After Facebook became a pain, Twitter became (for a while, when you didn't have to log in) a pretty decent way to update people on things like roadworks or weather warnings.

Oddly, many reporters still do

Everyone who’s not a paranoid leftist uses X; I find current information about every subject I’m interested in seconds

You sound like you're about to lose your farm

You don't find iinformation, you find hot takes. Xitter is a cesspool if you want to learn about anything.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

You sound like the type of guy who drives a cybertruck and practices Elons "odd hand gesture" in your bedroom at night.

Lol, Alex Jones style research. Using memes and headlines as news.

That's still half the US population though.

Joking for real, or seriously for real? The vast majority of people that used twitter are still using twitter. This applies to users in the united states, of course, but it especially applies to those in the entire rest of the world, where elon's shit largely hasn't crossed the culture/language barrier, or doesn't matter to people.
