Every time i saw a screenshot of these i was really confused why they were still around despite Musk being Musk.

Someone is very mad all their posts kept getting naughty notes!

Wow, not too long after Facebook adopted the same tactic. They chose to drop their previous processes in favor of having their users take care of it.

Sounds like this is just Twitter struggling to run their platform in the wake of a data center fire though.

Shut it down! Shut it down!

Why would anyone with any hint of common sense "raise questions" about this. There are no questions here.

Oh no, nuance??

Because the notes were not removed, they're just not working due to data center problems right now. Or, at least, that's enough of a possibility to raise questions.

Serious question, why is any non-nazi posting on twitter?

Inertia, at least in some cases. It takes a lot of work to rebuild your audience. Leaving is accelerating, though, albeit slowly.

Tech people, especially AI researchers, refuse to leave.

Some people continue to gaslight themselves into thinking there is something to be gained from the audience they once had

Not everyone wants to only see a highly censored echo chamber.

Right so why post on Twitter then?

1. Non-Westerner that never have or realized alternative platform exist.
2. Artist that dependant on mainstream social media reach. (some artists already have 100K+ followers there, fedi also have limited reach due to instance blocking, e.g. you're on Mastodon.art and want to reach Japanese audience (mainly misskey.io, but t was defederated on most of Western instance.)
3. People with social network bubble outside Westernsphere, they only have exclusively local feed on their Twitter.
4. People outside Westernsphere that already tried fediverse, but moving back as fediverse is still Western-centric or does not have their own community on feidverse.
5. Community that does not have monetary power to invest on their own fedi instance.

Because Twitter is the only social media site that isn’t a highly censored echo chamber.

Here you dropped this /s.

critical mass probably

Working for me now

And why are you here?

Based on their username and posts they are here to troll.
