Twitter is not going anywhere anytime soon; there is no replacement. Mastodon does not fit the needs of the millions of users using the platform daily. I believe that Twitter will terraform what we think of as social media, and with that, a new way of communication will emerge

I checked out from Twitter mid-summer, and have used it maybe twice or three times since.

It’s so much better NOT using it! I miss some of the conversations, but I can find my connections elsewhere.

HN is my only social media now.

Other than a bunch of people complaining about how Twitter is changing, I haven't seen any change at all.

I browsed it recently and the major change was the checkmark. So many trolls have them now. And it seems their content is boosted higher. It’s pretty bad.

Literally this. Any examples of what exactly has changed?

They let you browse recommended content and user profiles now without getting a fullscreen "please log in" modal covering the web client, which is nice.
