I don't use twitter either, its blocked by choice on my DNS blocker but, the majority on the platform are not a pedo, regardless of the owners of it. It's still really the only valid mainstream option for content creators. Do you have a better option? Because I know bsky or lemmy sure as hell aint going to get the job done for them (they have already tried that and went back due to lack of usage.)
its a circle, creators aren't going to leave the platform because consumers are there, consumers aren't going to leave because creators are there. The only real hope of that changing is either twitter screwing up so hard that they can't stay, or a superior alternative being made that allows both the creator and the viewer to leave at once, so far bsky has come to be the closest but has still fallen short.
edit: changed tone and wording to be less aggressive.
damn...how did you know?
