    Like what the fuck is possibly on there that justifies using that piece of shit platform?

    People. Lots of people. Including Doctor Cory Doctorow and Molly White.

          and we are talking about reasons why people are still there - those two aren’t one, because you can read their posts somewhere else too. Except if you meant that people are still there because those two are still there.

            You’re missing the point. Ask yourself why those people are still there.

              Hey, mastodon isn’t that bad! When bluesky runs out of funny money and has to enshittify it’ll be the one left standing!

                    I honestly don’t know how to be more clear. It’s called a social graph. The most important thing about a social network, above everything else (for normies), is having lots of users. Cory and Molly both know and understand that if they left Xitter, they would lose access to a substantial amount of their audience, so they both stay, despite being some of the platform’s harshest critics and the biggest supporters of it’s alternatives. That’s the answer to the question “why would anyone use it?”. The social graph.
