okay. So please. Stop using X. Use Mastodon or other Fediverse alternatives, even if your reach is smaller there?

Sorry, internet activists will let you down like young voters. If leaving a platform slightly inconveniences them in even the most superficial insignificant sense, they won't do it.

Edit:

Or they'll do it for like 3 days. Make a post saying "Hi guys! I just left twitter!" and then never write another message beyond that.

I feel like people in general will let you down, but yeah I agree.

Maybe because the technical people there are more concerned about their privacy and bot spam there and do not post for that reason?

Sure. And so ending up with a dead platform.
