I’ve traded sports and breaking news commentary in Twitter in for Reddit about 10 years ago.
Not sure where to go now. Lemmy doesn’t have the volumes (yet at least) for the same amount of user engagement with these events. Perhaps it’s better like this anyway, no use being that engaged all the time.
Also why things like emergency services really ought to be elsewhere… imagine people not getting the latest update because they ran out of tweets to view.
I started a Twitter account to follow the war in Ukraine at its very beginning. I was skeptical, but it won me over. Real time updates, easy to find expert takes, etc. Then Musk bought it, so I deleted my account the same day. No point sticking around on the titanic after the iceberg.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Never had Twitter to begin with but it was useful for seeing current events and comments. But ngl, kinda love watching it and musk go down in flames
Same but for porn and art. Mostly porn.
It’s very useful for sports and breaking news. Can see a normal (unverified) user burning through those limits quick. Great user engagement!
