Who are the flipping robots you're talking about? Do you mean HN posters or X users?
It's a shame you've had such a poor experience on X. The site isn't perfect by any means, but it's become one of the only places online for new humor. The fact that reddit, Imgur, and Instagram front pages are frequently just X screenshots is a good indicator that this platform still has legs.
Where did you read that engagement was down? I was under the impression the platform was getting more usage than ever.

This line is identical to what deluded Twitter users said when they wanted me to join the site. "Yes, look past the NFT features, ignore the bots and the advertising and the brand accounts, disconnect from the hustle culture and make sure to block this list of artists. Used ironically, then the site is great!"
X and Twitter are not just imperfect. They are both unprofitable and untrustworthy brands, a net-negative service provided to humanity as a mechanism for selling ads and manipulating public opinion for brands and governments. It is an extremely ridiculous website and you're looking equally ridiculous as the Twitter zealots trying to defend it's merit. X is the piss-take of social media, there's no point in trying to vindicate it this late in the game.
Thank you for speaking truth; I hope you don’t get flagged like I did.
