Why do you upvote this content? Is kuntuckygirl1 someone famous i should know about? This post doesn’t look like anything special, anyone could have wrote it so why reposting and upvoting content from x and from people we don’t know anything about?

There are hundreds similar examples

    So the reason is historical. There was a time when Twitter was the source of information.

    So how do you explain the content from meta threads?

      Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, they are all shared the same way because they are all shaped the same way.

      Plus once sharing images of text became the norm, it happened everywhere.

      I mentioned deleted content, but what about private content? Discord content is private, so how is it shared? As an image.
