I feel like my twitter feed has gotten worse lately and a lot of accounts I follow have made the move over there.
I am so set in my doom scrolling ways tho.

I think the days of being able to gather all of our news on one mega-platform like Twitter or Reddit are over. There are important accounts which are only on telegram, only on bluesky, only on twitter, and (to a lesser degree) only on the Fediverse. It is a pain, because with the exception of Mastodon (which virtually no noteworthy politicians, state officials, or journalists use), none of these platforms address any of the fundamental problems Twitter has. They simply are less far along in their decline.
