X is shutting down Communities because of low usage and lots of spam
Our take
X has announced the shutdown of its Communities feature due to low user engagement and a significant amount of spam activity. The company revealed that only a small percentage of users actively participated in Communities, leading to an environment that did not meet their standards for meaningful interactions. This decision reflects X's commitment to enhancing user experience by focusing on features that deliver value and foster genuine connections. As a result, Communities will no longer be available, streamlining the platform for its core users.
X Communities are no more. Only a fraction of X users were using Communities, and much of that use was spam, the company said.
