The reach and impressions on Twitter are fake though, and posts containing links are suppressed.
(Of course the EFF are ideological, that's their entire purpose!)

Sometimes it's not just about quantity. Not all impressions are equal.
And like it or not - Twitter is still the preferred communication platform of quite a few influential people.
Interactions on X are notoriously low-quality and botted to hell, so “not all impressions are equal” might not be a great point to push here.
According to what metric? Your obvious hatred of Musk? Just like 90% of everyone else on here and reddit?
And not all influential people are Elon Musk or Catturd.
I don't like it and I haven't used it since before the whole nazi salute thing. I feel gross just accidentally following links to that place. Why would I support it or the people who use it?
Link suppression is contested. Nikita says they're not deboosted. This guy tested it, found evidence they're no longer deboosted: https://x.com/phl43/status/2041893735827460446?s=20
Nikita says they were "never" deboosted, but Musk said they were going to do that and it was a huge topic...?

He says here about an interface change. I've noticed this change. The sites are opening in a kind of sub window with the feedback UI still visible. I found this annoying but now I see the point.
