I have stuck it out in Xitter, and it's ... interesting to say the least. There is a very active pro-democracy bunch in there. The pro-democracy feed keeps squeezing down smaller and smaller but the ones still there frequently provide interesting leads I don't hear elsewhere probably because of how often the substack authors focus on the major media stories and how some of the most interesting stories (like the Epstein papers recently released) and early hints of story (like the hacker getting into the Federalist Society's computer banks and finding Chinese backers) are too off to the side to get the limited attention available.
