You are missing the fact that, for many of us who used to enjoy Twitter in exactly the way you described, X no longer fills that need, because the subject matter experts whose real-time thoughts we used to follow have left the platform, and all that remains are people whose real-time thoughts we don't generally want to hear.
That may differ from your experience - your real-time expert community might be different than mine.
But for a lot of us who actually used to enjoy Twitter, what you're describing is no longer to be found there.
> because the subject matter experts whose real-time thoughts we used to follow have left the platform
Do mind naming 10 subject matter experts who've permanently left twitter?
I'm really curious as to which communities used to be vibrant on Twitter and then died after the X switch over.
Yeah, as you stated, my personal experience is that all the communities I follow continue to be active.
Not going to indulge in an 'oh, you like Twitter? Name ten of their albums' kind of question.
My friends left. I left.
The entire discussion is based on subject matter experts. I asked you to name a few and you didn't name a single one.
> My friends left. I left.
Ok? That has no relevance to our discussion.
Andrej Karpathy - I guess. The tweets i see when i click on it are out of chronological order, maybe there's something new i don't see
Nah Andrej is still active on [Twitter](https://i.imgur.com/KEa6dx4.png)
I'm guessing he's less active now because he's back at OpenAI and not on sabbatical anymore.
