Because it has truly broken a lot of valuable social connections and channels of absolutely vital information. A lot of which will never come over to spaces like Cohost or Mastodon for a variety of reasons, some of which are extremely valid.
There's a lot of virulent anti-twitter sentiment on here in terms of, not the company, but the platform itself, and, I get it, there's a lot to hate about twitter top to bottom, but if you didn't find life-changing/horizon-broadening shit on there in its heydey you weren't looking, and I don't think I can say that about Cohost or the fediverse in the same way.
Anyway, it just sucks, you know? And I'm not out here to judge people for when they do or don't pull the plug.
if a fascist burned a city down and people were blaming the folks there for not moving to a suburb fast enough
this is also part of why I find the attitude about bluesky on here so frustrating tbh. In my experience, most folks on there are people just trying to keep up continuity on the most similar platform for when musk eventually either makes the site completely unusable or outright bankrupts the company. People who didn't or don't actually want to leave Twitter and people who were continuing to have, for whatever reason, good experiences on there, but feel like the end is neigh.
To continue the analogy: it's like getting mad at the people fleeing the burning city settling in a new neighborhood nearby, because that neighborhood is not as nicely planned.
