Yeah, I had a Twitter account but rarely used it. Shortly after Musk took over, his account was in recommendations and his tweets were in my feed, even though I'd NEVER seen them before.
I blocked him.
He remained at the top of my recommendations.
I think I even occasionally saw his posts when they were retweeted or something by someone I didn't even follow, because the retweet was trending, I guess?
That's when I deleted my account.
It's a shame because Twitter is a perfect platform for the kind of one-way communications required by a news agency or local government agency. Maybe Mastodon or Bluesky will fill that void.
I would prefer RSS.
So would I but good luck getting your average local sheriff or office of emergency preparedness to use RSS. Most of their "IT" staff is the deputy who is "good with computers" meaning they can open a PDF file.
