Twitter still has more monthly active users, so that means some people just stick their heads in every once in a while. I bet those users are really easy to lose as their time between checks gets longer and longer.

Concerns after Tesla uses new Texas law to avoid Austin’s environmental regulations
The company’s ability to deannex from the city comes after Senate Bill 2038 passed last year.
TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas — A petition by Tesla to release nearly 2,100 acres of land from Austin’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, or ETJ, has been approved.
But many are concerned because Giga Texas will no longer have to follow Austin’s environmental regulations that they’ve been under for the last four years. The city’s regulations included standards on water and air quality.
“We’re always concerned about being down water and downwind of anything that happens over there,” Richard Franklin, a resident of one of the closest neighborhoods to the gigafactory, said.
…Since Tesla is one of the top five largest water consumers in the Austin area, Fuentes thinks the company should be subject to the city’s strong environmental regulations. She feels SB 2038 strips the city of its authority at the local level.
“[When] we have the state Legislature passing legislation that makes it easier for companies like Tesla to opt out of our own regulation, it’s going to have consequences,” Fuentes said. “It’s going to have impacts on our communities.”
