    Nah Twitter is a shell of its former self. Try searching up a niche subject and 99% of the tweets are ads.

      Yeah, the entire niche industry community I was on twitter for absolutely ate it during the early days of Elon and the majority have moved on - mainly to social media spaces like Insta or TikTok.

      We got some of them on Reddit, even - though that sure was a brief and shallow victory, all told.

        Yeah I’m software educator in a few small niches. I used to just go and search the topic and make friends, help people out but now 99% of the posts are automated shilling for some business or some SEO spam.

        I still try to pop in but it seems like Twitter is a lost cause especially since they put search behind login now. Just like Reddit they have alienated content creators and it shows.

      And how is it when you search the subject with Nitter?

        The same thing. I don’t mean official Twitter ads - just spam.

            Yes. Try any programming niche and only 1 in 20 results seem to be an organic tweet not some spam for a click or service.
