Because there's still a strong football/soccer community there, along with Reddit

[-] achille225@feddit.ch 1 points 2 years ago

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, I agree with you (at least on the Reddit part) The soccer community exists on Lemmy, but it's just not even remotely close to Reddit's

[-] ribboo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah. Even the largest leagues and teams are basically impossible to follow on anything but Reddit and Twitter. For smaller teams? Nothing else exists…

[-] gunpachi@lemmings.world 2 points 2 years ago

I guess it's because a lot of local news channels and personalities still use twitter.

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Mostly because I like to occasionally fuck around with the conspiracy crowd.

Really only to get notifications of weather stuff from my local NWS office.

[-] ellabella@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

My entire fandoms are there. Also twitter is ok if you follow the right people, you don't depend on the trending list and you dgaf about follower count.

Research. Many people I'm interested in still use Twitter. And I hate how Nitter instances globally have started to become rate limited or outright obliterated by Twitter API weirdness/

[-] soviettaters@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

There is literally no other realistic alternative too it; they're simply all too small. I still follow many trusted news sources and politicians on it as well as fandoms.

Because there are a lot more people, breaking news, and content on there compared to anywhere else.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I literally don’t give a single fuck what people are involved with producing the software I use

[-] ctkatz@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I don't have an insta, so I'm not on threads. there's no scaled up site to even come close to challenging twitter.

I'm still there because there is pretty much nowhere else to go. once one of these places actually starts being as active and engaging as twitter I'm going there.

I'm not. Twitter was dead to me the moment Musk took over.

[-] ieightpi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Your asking the wrong community. Go ask Reddit this question

[-] MammyWhammy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Sports. I can get a hundred tweets of highlights almost instantly on Twitter.

[-] lil@lemy.lol 1 points 2 years ago

I never used X. I use Facebook

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That's... baffling, coming from a Lemmy user. Why are you okay with Mark Zuckerberg watching everything you interact with?

[-] lil@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago

I'm a bit of an exhibitionist and I'm glad that Mark is watching.

[-] ben@lef.li 1 points 2 years ago

My best guess: Ignorance is bliss.

(As for me I deleted my Twitter account that moment Elon bought the platform).
