X Discontinues Communities Feature Due to Low Usage and Spam Issues
X has decided to shut down its Communities feature, launched in 2021, due to low user engagement and high levels of spam, financial scams, and malware. The feature was used by less than 0.4% of users but accounted for 80% of spam reports. X's head of product, Nikita Bier, stated that the feature was a burden on the team and not aligned with its original purpose.
