A source of "news" or connections to news sources, communication with friends and "friends" and current events in pop culture, and porn.what is it you think people use twitter for?
why do you need twitter for that?

I still have an RSS feed, but Twitter is quicker and even easier to curate.
Porn
twitter is way way more than porn to a lot of people. unless I search for a NSFW profile, I can be in a rabbit hole of hundreds of other topics without coming across any adult content.

I used twitter rss years ago when they offered rss feeds but killed the feature to get people to signup. you can get twitter rss functionality by using the nitter front-end alternative. never had an account and don't plan to ever have one.
example :

nah, thats a mediocre description that describes any other site and if thats your take i can understand why you think it's not a big deal.
twitter is hyperlocal information in real-time disseminating information to the masses with push notifications with the ability to comment on it. access to a an audience of millions of people for free which is historically unprecedented and communicating directly with people prior generations couldn't get easy access to. you can directly message anyone in a public manner including businesses, CEOs, politicians, government agencies and even heads of states.
the ability to see and participate in conversations with scientists,. doctors, researchers, activists. labor unions, marginalized groups is unprecedented.
what site gives you that capability?

Now Elon is beefing with longterm Tesla investors on Twitter!
Don't even try to convince em bruh. Their opinions on Twitter are not changing.
They think Twitter is black gender war tweets, BMAT tweets, and bird babble cause that's all that is ever posted from there on here that makes platinum threads.

TLR when Kanye was calling slavery a choice, selling white lives matter gear, and palling around with anti-BLM right wingers: "wE n0t a MoNoLiTh! They right about BLM tho! Not all black people go along with the liberal agenda!"
TLR when the Jewish community took out Kanyes career overnight for talking Nazi shyt and throwing up threats: "WHERE WAS EVERYONE WHEN HE WAS shytTING ON BLACK PEOPLE THO!? SO YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT ABAOUT BLACK FOLKS!? WHY WE DONT GOT THEY KINDA POWER!?"

Elon Musk re-enabled Twitter accounts for several journalists banned over @ElonJet
He ran a second poll asking his followers when they should be let back onto Twitter, and the answer “Now” won. Their accounts have been reactivated, while Musk continues to claim they “doxxed my location.”

Elon Musk has started to lift the suspensions of some journalists on Twitter after re-running a poll asking if he should “Unsuspend accounts who doxxed my exact location in real-time.” (The journalists did not reveal his real-time location.) Out of the two poll options, “now” won with 58.7 percent of the responses, beating “in 7 days.” There were almost 3.7 million responses to the poll.
Journalists from a variety of outlets, including The New York Times, CNN, NBC, The Intercept, and more, had their accounts suspended on Thursday, most of them after tweeting about @ElonJet, a Twitter account that tracked the SpaceX-owned private jet Elon Musk uses, based on publicly available FAA flight tracking data. The ElonJet account was suspended from Twitter prior to the strike against the other accounts but survives on other platforms (which is potentially the reason you can’t tweet a link to many instances of Mastodon, a decentralized Twitter alternative).
At time of writing, the accounts for CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, The New York Times’ Ryan Mac, Mashable’s Matt Binder, and The Washington Post’s Drew Harwell were once again visible on the platform. Other accounts, like Linette Lopez’s, Micah Lee’s, as well as @ElonJet and @JoinMastodon, remained suspended. Musk has announced that “accounts who doxxed my location will have their suspension lifted now.”
This week, Twitter updated its policy to ban sharing “live location information,” as well as “links to 3rd-party URL(s) of travel routes.”
At the time the journalists were suspended, Twitter head of trust and safety Ella Irwin told The Verge: “We don’t make exceptions to this policy for journalists or any other accounts.” Musk also made his feelings on the matter clear with the language of his poll, and through various follow-up tweets. He also implied that the flight tracker had some connection to a “crazy stalker” who encountered a car that was carrying one of his children, and that the person “blocked car from moving & climbed onto hood.” However, the LAPD says no crime report has been filed about such an incident, according to the Los Angeles Times.
After the suspensions, Musk ran a 30-minute long poll asking when he should unsuspend the journalists. “Now” won that poll as well, garnering 43 percent of responses, but Musk said he would redo it because it had “too many options.”

On Thursday, Musk also attended a Twitter Space hosted by Buzzfeed News’ Katie Notopoulos, which was also attended by several of the suspended journalists, who had apparently been allowed to join due to a technical glitch. Before leaving the call, Musk said “you dox, you get suspended. End of story, that’s it.” Twitter later turned off the Spaces feature. While it’s since been restored, Notopoulos says she’s unable to start or join a Space, receiving a message saying “you can’t participate or go live because you violated the Twitter Rules” when she tries.
Hours before the poll was completed and the accounts were reinstated, Musk declared today “freedom Friday” in response to former congressional candidate Lavern Spicer’s comment that accounts were being reinstated at an increasingly fast pace. Several prominent right-to-far-right figures were unsuspended on Friday, including MyPillow founder Mike Lindell and Gateway Pundit editor Jim Hoft, as noted by Shayan Sardarizadeh, a reporter for the BBC. This appears to be part of Musk making good on his promise to give most previously-suspended accounts “general amnesty,” which he also claims is occurring due to the results of a poll.
On Friday evening, the Twitter Safety account tweeted that the company had “identified several policies where permanent suspension was a disproportionate action for breaking Twitter rules” and that it would be reinstating accounts on a weekly basis over the next 30 days. It’s unclear if the tweet was an announcement regarding Musk’s general amnesty poll, or the people banned based on the new live tracking policy. Musk has said that there is a “7 day suspension for doxxing,” though some of the people affected by the ElonJet suspensions posted screenshots of the Twitter UI that said they were permanently suspended.
