There’s a HUGE presence among politicians, liberal thinkers, entertainers, and just good content producers. I like animal threads and the best ones are there.

It needs work. People are begging for trending topics and a linear timeline. But they seem to be striving. And unfortunately bots and rwnjs seem to be trying to spam it to the extent that it’s overloaded. But again, they’re working on it. And as I said, the presence of those who either ditched Twitter or are doing both is by far the biggest I’ve seen.
