This is hilarious
Too bad many good devs and journalists are on twitter mostly, I’m gonna have to create an account just to follow a dev I like…
Unless you guys have a solution to
1)access content without an account
2)“follow” someone, or jist be alerted for new posts (perhaps with a monitoring tool , the kind which scans page for changes?)
Well, you can access their profiles with Nitter now.
Looking forward to when you can follow multiple people easily.
Especially since Fritter dropped Nitter support and the feed.
It’s the enshitification that keeps on shitting.
I kind of like it.
Dead platform
Gotta save on those server costs.
Watch him ban every mention of Signal or Telegram as well when people try to get around the DM issue.
twitter is becomming painful to use everyday
It would be interesting to see it all lead up to some master plan like Elon gaining some hug political favor or something with all his actions with someone.
Why do you think he needs a hug ?
Someone whose name rhymes with pootin.
You kinda hope this is leading somewhere and it’s not just some crazy dude drunk with power hurtling the ship nose first into an iceberg.
Why not move to Mastodon?
Jokes on you, no one ever DM’ed me anyway.
Really? What’s your secret to avoiding the incessant only fans bots?
I dunno, I guess the fact that I’ve never been very active on Twitter. I use it occasionally and reply to the odd thread, but I never even knew only fans bots was a thing there.
I’ve used Twitter off and on for a while to follow artists who post there, and my dms are full of only fans spam and crypto scams
Elon does not want you to use Twitter. Please let that sink in.
It’s Cartmanland and you can’t come!
Such an amazing platform. ran by a genius.
s/ran/run into the ground/
Who is still interested in that stite it’s actually baffling at this point that there are still people on there.
I only use it to get updates and breaking stuff from NFL, ESPN, POTUS, etc. I don’t actually go on it to browse. I wish there was another place where I could the same level of breaking/interesting news/updates
Those probably have a twitter mirror on mastodon by now. As long as there’s no need to interact a mirror bot would probably work.
People I like post hentai on Twitter
only valid reason any one has replied…
I still don’t understand what it was ever for in the first place.

I’ve seen YouTubers also say “nothing else has any users”. I think this is generally the public sentiment and the reason people stick around. I would say that even if there’s no alternative, just leave but… Unfortunately people feel like they “need” Twitter.
And people say social media isn’t addicting.
Journalists and politicians love Twitter for some reason. They’re the only people keeping it alive right now.
So, only shitshows happening there. Can be ignored.
Pundits in general. I really enjoy The Majority Report, but it pisses me off how much they criticize Twitter but still talk about what they’re saying on it.
Check the news. Twitter is/was used all over the place as a source for stories. The death of twitter removes the source of some really easy reporting income.
I’ve been there since 2014 and if I wasn’t aware of the constant whining about how bad twitter is on other sites but twitter I wouldn’t know anything has changed. For me it’s the same it has always been. It’s also the only platform where I have any kind of following so I don’t just leave like I did from reddit.
So the bottom half of any twitter comment thread has ALWAYS been crypto scammers, gofundme scammers, bots hawking t shirts and maga chuds responding off topic?
The worst thing is that the blue checks swarm the replies and are prioritized, so when a fucking dumbass says something idiotic you don’t even get the catharsis of watching them get ratioed and dragged. It’s all just sycophant idiots now.
I have no idea. I don’t read twitter threads
you don’t know how bad twitter was or what has changed because you were just ignorant. The issues are still there. If you say there is no starving children because you don’t see them, your opinion is irrelevant.
Am I supposed to leave twitter because other people don’t like it or what’s the issue here? Like I said; I’ve had no problems with it. My feed is 99% what I want to see and the rest is cat videos

Why do you assume I’m ignorant about it?
That’s so interesting, our Twitter consumption habits are really different. What do you use Twitter for? Just sending out updates to your followers?
Also as an aside, I hate how lemmy users are like Redditors and downvote any information contrary to what they want to see

I was thinking the same. There’s one person being honest about why they use Twitter - in a thread asking about why it’s still used - and the only thing people can do here is downvoting him? It’s sad.
It’s not all users, it’s the server culture. Try a different server and you’ll see a different user culture.
Servers are not isolated from each other, people participate in communities regardless of the server they have their account on, that’s how the federation works.
Tho if by “server” you actually mean “community” then yes, each community can have its own “culture” like different subs on reddit did.
I only post pictures and only follow people that post pictures. I basically use it like Instagram in 2014. I just don’t get any engagement on Instagram so I stopped using it. On Twitter I got like 1600 followers and I’m not even consistent with my updates.
I’ve never made text posts there and I never read what other people are writing. It’s a bad platform for that in my opinion.
Are you trying to move to another platform that might also get you followers/help you maintain those.followers (Threads, BlueSky). If I had a photo account, and dining post anything personal about myself, I would probably try any and all platforms. But I don’t use SM like that. Does Twitter allow mentions of other platforms you’re on? (When he banned mentions of Substack that got me interested in it and it led me to download the app and create an account there.)
Guys why are we down voting a Twitter user for giving their perspective?
This thread started with someone complaining that it’s baffling and they can’t understand why people are still using the platform.
That is why that site we shall not mention has died, let people discuss for discussion’s sake
A following?
Like Jesus?
I doubt Jesus shared pictures of himself dressed in girls clothes, but other than that yeah kinda like Jesus.
Nah, Jesus was just about showing off his abs and that weird yoga pose he was always doing.
He T posed before it was cool
Step 3: Profit!
That bozo didn’t even collect underpants!!
I’ve always had twitter but never really used it at all apart from contacting companies when I couldn’t resolve things the normal way.
Think it’s time to delete it.
I’m astounded that people use it for anything other than this. I have received some decently fast customer service via twitter. However one glance at the content and I got tf out.
It stays on my phone for the sole reason that I have notifications turned on from a local weather account
I think it’s important to remember that musk has never actually done anything to innovate the companies he’s been a part of. He didn’t create PayPal, he just bought his way in and made a series of dumb suggestions. He didn’t create Tesla, he bought Tesla right after they had fine tuned their models, and then he made a series of changes that likely resulted in a worse product.
Elon Musk is not a good businessman, he’s just rich and has a habit of purchasing profitable companies. Anyone could do this with his wealth. I’m not even really convinced that he’s offered many technical ideas or designs for any of his companies, as it seems that would be the first thing he would mention every single time someone brought up one of his companies.
But open AI wouldn’t even exist without him! After all, he contributed less than 10% of their raise and he suggested the name. You can’t have a company called Open AI if nobody names it Open AI.
He’s a dumbass, and his worshipers deserve him.
The moment I fully knew he was a fraud was when I heard him talk about ai.

about ai.I think it was the submarine thing where the mask slipped for all to see.
Musk: “I’m making a magic submarine to rescue those poor boys. Oh it doesn’t work, hang on a bit.”
Diver: “It’s alright, I rescued them the old fashioned way!”
Musk: “… Pedo.”
Nothing like a big strop in front of everyone to show us all the thin skinned narcissist he was all along.
The longer this shitshow goes on, the dumber Elon looks. Who could idolize him at this point?
Racist homophobic incels.
And he panders for that crowd hard, which only makes him look more pathetic.
if it annoys you to worship him they’ll do it twice as hard.
My parents, tryna force me to work for him cause “he’s such a great person! Could you do a better job than him!”.
Mostly my dad suggesting me to be “the next musk” which honestly horrifies me
Could you do a better job than him
“I could’ve not drunk-bought Twitter, thereby saving $44 billion.”
And you don’t immediately respond asking for some startup cash?
Just their way of saying they want ten in-vitro grandchildren who all hate you
