My thoughts on Twitter
All Social media is a huge cess pit anyway. Before Musk, Twitter was a sound board for militant leftist weirdos who would censor anything that didn’t conform to their agenda. No different now, just went the other way. Who cares in the end? It’s all shit
I see it a few different ways:
- They revere Elon Musk
- They are far right-winged
- They are watching it burn to the ground and are secretly grinning inside
- They actually believe its headed in the right direction
They can also be a combination of the above.
A friend of mine knows a few artists that are scrambling to find an alternative because Twitter has completely hamstrung them. They’d use the platform to promote their work and then people could contact them to make commissions.
That’s been pulled from under them.
The problem is obviously that they already had an established following and network of creators on that platform. They’d boost one another and so their followers would find other creators.
I personally won’t miss Twitter but I feel bad for the people who lose their livelihood because of lil Musk and his constant need to wave his wang in our faces.
Perhaps a dual presence on both Threads and Mastodon? Remember we’re on Lemmy, we wanna support using fediverse services when possible
Honestly, I only use my +18 account
I don’t know where the accounts I follow where be going when twitter dies.
I don’t care. I am on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Lemmy, and probably a shit ton more. And I jump wherever I want. It doesn’t matter who is in control. Just the fun I have with a platform. The value it has for my life.
And Twitter is now even more fun than before. It’s so toxic, so much discussions, I love it.
It has never been docile, but boy, shits finally let loose. It’s like Reddit in the good old days.
It’s just funny arrows pointing upwards or downwards. It’s not that important. No one needs to like my opinion.
But there is nothing worse than a dead post without any comments. So I thought I’d start something here.
In retro perspective I didn’t need to. People started all by themselves.
Nope. Just some dude who has found his own form of entertainment.
I’d rather have fun with something than getting angry about trivia.
What use does it have to you to get angry about a platform you do not seem to be involved with anymore?
Call me edgy and immature all you want. I am happy.
Twitter is still the best platform for sports news and info.
I’ve been considering this for a while now. Yes, Musk’s antics are only souring everything about Twitter, but the place is also a font of information that search indexes use. I’ve used Twitter a lot and I don’t want to see the information I’ve shared there to go away. If I do remove my Twitter account, my tweets will only be available through sites like the internet archive.
