Inb4 fifty comments all saying “I’m not on twitter/x.”

Hey, I’m not either, but we aren’t who this thread is for, please and thank you

Please upvote this so people see it and think before making a shitty throwaway comment that adds absolutely zero to discussion.

Edit: fucking called it

Because Wayland is a hot mess.

It’s the NSFW Content. TBH.

The artists who draw the art/topics/proportions I’m into, and the IRL models with those proportions, don’t exist on Mastodon. If they do I haven’t found them. So Twitter still gets my horny clicks cause that content doesn’t exist elsewhere.

For several reasons:

• It’s where people are. It’s the whole fucking point of social networks! If the user base drops to a point where people are no longer there, I’ll go to the next network.

• If I were to boycott everything owned by a cunt, I’d probably live in a mud hut, naked in a park somewhere.

• The self-gratification on here doesn’t make me want to use Twitter any less.

• For all it’s faults, there isn’t a legitimate competitor. Mastodon has no users and has a less intuitive interface than Twitter. BlueSky is…I couldn’t even tell you what the fuck it is. Threads is basically a meme project by Zuck (another billionaire cunt) to toy with Musk, and it’ll be dead within a year.

FWIW, I fucking hate Musk. I’m a software engineer, and one of the few big tech companies I wanted to work for was Twitter. Their branding was cool, they worked on cool tech problems, and I heard great things about their workplace culture back in around 2010-2012. Musk fucked up a company I liked.

I’ve long considered Musk to be a fraud, and to be honest Twitter is the least of his problems. He’s clearly a very sick man that probably needs professional help above everything else.

If he were a normal person, someone would’ve cornered him and coerced him into medical detainment. If people thought I had a coke problem that affected my ability to conduct meetings and think clearly, I’d be out on my ass. Musk can get away with it because he owns his companies, and no one cares enough about him to help him. He’s a dancing monkey that doesn’t realise that people are laughing at him, not with him…

Unfortunately Twitter/X is still the fastest way to find Japanese fan bases for almost everything. For example Baldur’s Gate 3 just got its Japanese launch last month, and it’s been fun to see their thoughts since they are not familiar with DND settings or CRPG all together. Many Japanese users I follow don’t like what Musk’s doing to Twitter as well, but they are also not sure about other platforms so it’s kind of it is what it is situation now.

I’m not, but the PR guy at work still does most of his communication there. It’s because that’s where both news and rumors spread. If you’re not active, you come back and suddenly everyone is convinced you’ve done, or have plans to do something horrible. You basically have to sit there and deal with the abuse, just in case you actually have done something horrible. He isn’t a particularly happy guy.

I used to post amateur photography there. I do still miss the community. It was far more engaged and supportive than anywhere else I’ve found.

The only time I’m ever there is because it has information or news I need. Unfortunately a lot of industry folk use it to post information even though it’s the worst fucking UI for it. I don’t think I’ve ever browsed their front page.

Knowing what you know about USA, why are you still living there? /s

Sir this is lemmy

The furry porn community is still licking their wounds over losing Tumblr, and a lot of the big artists just don’t want to have to rebuild their community for the second time, so that’s where they are. I don’t like that I have to go to such a cesspool, but damnit, that’s where the furry porn is.

I left Twitter exactly 24 days before it was rebranded to X. Let’s just say I’m glad I made that move.

I never used it even before he bought it.

I never had a Twitter account. I just joined mastodon a few hours ago

I never used X. I use Facebook
