A year later, many, many journalists still fuel the deadbird site,. They know they are in effect supporting a person who hates them, and amplifies anti-democracy activists.
Journos rationalize. They say exTwitter is still "where the people are" -- but what they mean, I believe, is that it's where their peers are.
The in-group conversation they are having is more important than the inconvenience, and effort, of doing what they know is the right thing, for themselves and their audiences.
@dangillmor no, it's not that that's where their peers are, but that it's where so much of their audience is.
So many folks who stopped using Twitter assume nearly everyone else did as well, but it's simply not the case.
It's a projection.
There are still a ton of people using Twitter, and the journalists want to reach them.
