Perhaps a few corporate news sources will stay on, and probably the US Government, but you'll see an exodus of the Independent Journalists. And the candidates will be gone. That's a lot of traffic.

Of course, the big question is "where do the independent journalists go if not on "X"? That hasn't been settled yet. Threads seems to have some popularity here on DU.

I guess I've been avoiding the migration because you have to cultivate who you follow to keep away from the shitty side of Threads.
