Why the fuck is anyone using Mollusk’s X? Get the fuck off!!!
You have to consider what the average person would use. Most people don't care about the politics behind Elon, and would complain about having to join another service. Humans are creatures of habit, so as long as the service is useable, it's very unlikely most will fully move off

They want to get their message out and a lot of people still use Twitter.
It's still a good source for breaking news.
Is it really? In my experience you're much more likely to find misinformation about breaking news than real breaking news itself on Twitter.
I make sure it's from the reputable journalists.
I often find that people who say this are extremely bad at actually determining what a reputable journalist is.
Mainstream journalists from NBC News, CNN, WaPo, etc.
Honest question, why not just use something like ground news then? It's got all the same sites, gets past pay walls, and you don't have to see random nazis and bot accounts, seems like a much better user experience.
I mean even POTUS uses the site for announcements... https://x.com/POTUS/status/1815766423056080912
True, I'm pretty sure that's just because it still has a large user base though, doesn't negate the fact that it has the same info as other places, but is filled with Nazis and misinformation.
I personally just refuse to give Musk the business or his site any more legitimacy. He's proven repeatedly that we can't trust him, as the article you posted is another case in point. The fact that the site has some utility isn't why many of us question why people still use it.
Why do people need that so desperately? Is it really so much of a burden to wait a few minutes for the platforms those journalists work for to vet and publish the news on their own platforms? Is your personal and immediate input and reaction so important? It's important to be fast rather than correct!
If these "trustworthy journalists" are posting information so quickly and spur of the moment that they aren't checking things and ensuring their accuracy, they're not as "trustworthy" as you think anyway.
