Why are so many people suddenly against Twatter burning? I thought we all wanted that?
Oh I’m all for it. Let it crash and burn. Any time a billionaire gets embarrassed is okay with me, because it’s the only thing that will hurt them.
I personally use it for manga and following japanese artists who seem to post art and have discussions there
I made a Twitter account in like 2009, in order to follow breaking hockey trades and free agent signings.
Then I realized that these are all posted to hockey forums at ludicrous speed, so I just stayed on the hockey forums.
There must be people refreshing Twitter just to be first to repost stuff to other social media sites for clout. It’s part of what makes Twitter so gross.
Also, what Twitter has done to ‘journalism’ where 99/100 ‘journalistic articles’ are just writing about what the author read on Twitter that day. It’s all just so gross to me.
Sorry, I rambled. I meant to just agree that I also signed up for Twitter for a niche interest. Although I quickly dropped it again, way before all the activism took over the platform and people started losing their jobs over tweets they liked or made.
I quit like 6 months before Elon musk ever even mentioned buying Twitter. This is all pretty hilarious for me. Although I did occasionally poke my head in using a front end open source alternative like fritter or nitter or you don’t need to log in.
But those haven’t been working either because of the latest s***
It’s been more than six months since the purchase went through. I believe he closed the deal in Oct 2022. He fought that for a while before it happened. The claim of intent to purchase happened earlier that year.
Don’t worry. My sense of time has been fucked up ever since the first pan lockdowns, too.
This is what I’m saying, I think people are just really addicted to Twitter and refuse to let it die combined with a lot of people online being far left and hating anything right of Antifa
You don’t need to simultaneously say something stupid and loudly announce you’re a right-winger - only one of those things is needed to get the message.
I have beliefs that would be considered left leaning and ones that would be considered right leaning.
You know, like a normal person aware of complexity and nuance
