I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.
Whatever blackout/boycott/migration happens with Reddit, this should go double for Twitter, that’s another place I silently dropped like a rock and have never visited again.
When something happens with Ukraine and I feel compelled to dive into it, I’ve used Nitter, which mirrors the Twitter content but Musk and his right-wing idiocy gets no goddamned clicks and traffic from me anymore.
I’ll take it one at a time for now, as the twitter thing is mostly temporary. These platforms got issues but if it helps keep me off reddit, I’ll use it just to help ensure the ipo goes poorly. Thats the short term goal.
Long term goal is replacements, and we’re still not quite there. Case in point, I had a more thoughtful response that never posted. It’s hard to ask people to only use apps/platforms like these when they still have growing pains.
