“Why are people STILL on Twitter?”
No, you’re right, it’s super easy to just leave any/all friends, acquaintances, fandoms, readers, viewers, listeners, customers, and communities over there. Don’t waste time trying to figure out where everyone’s going, just delete your account and hope you figure out how to use five other services pretty quick.
Side note: If you’re here, you don’t NOT have a need for a “microblogging” site like Twitter. Tumblr will never replace Twitter. I mean that as a compliment. As fast as the memes move, Tumblr is still slower (imagine how fast a feed of single sentences moves), more pensive, funnier, loopier, allows for longer and richer posts, has actual lore and a personality, feels like a community unto itself. You can’t replace hang-gliding with deep-sea diving. And I think it’s okay to mourn that you can’t hang-glide anymore because a loser bought the rights to control public airspace.
