Comment on Twitter / X is losing daily active users. CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed it.

I never used Twitter actively but used it for announcements and live events happening. Now when I go to a page for updates it shows me (maybe?) the most active tweets from the past. For example, I’ll check the MLS page for game delays, the MLS page will have the post of a delay on their site, but if I go to the MLS Twitter it just shows posts from years ago about some goal that is so irrelevant for what I am looking for. I could list many other examples of how useless it has become…

Indeed. I used Twitter to get on-the-ground reporting for incidents important to me. Since they moved to requiring being signed in to search hashtags, I’ve switched to other, less timely sources instead. It’s a shame, because you can’t use X for what Twitter was originally designed to provide.

What are you using now?

A combination of Lemmy, Mastodon, Google News and focused news blogs (by geography or topic).
I should probably go back to using an RSS reader like I did before Twitter.
