I literally don’t give a single fuck what people are involved with producing the software I use
Because there’s still a strong football/soccer community there, along with Reddit
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, I agree with you (at least on the Reddit part) The soccer community exists on Lemmy, but it’s just not even remotely close to Reddit’s
Yeah. Even the largest leagues and teams are basically impossible to follow on anything but Reddit and Twitter. For smaller teams? Nothing else exists…
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.
Thank you for your honest answer.
i feel like at this point, we could just build our own. It’s not like we aren’t capable lmao.
Licking their wounds is an interesting choice of words here lol
Chosen very much on purpose. ;)
I never had an account to start with.
Never really knew what it was for, and given the number of multi part parts and screenshots where you read bottom to top, no fucker else knows how it’s supposed to work either.
It’s just a shit blog with an arbitrary character limit.
Yeah I could never get into everything being spread around and jumbled up, I have my own rapid and jumbled stream of intrusive and inane thoughts, I don’t need to see everyone else’s.
Really though I just hope the people who enjoy it find a good replacement, because if those idiots start shitting up the rest of my internets I’ll be pissed.
My best guess: Ignorance is bliss.
(As for me I deleted my Twitter account that moment Elon bought the platform).
I follow numerous sources that ether only post on X or if they do post on masadon etc no one replies to anything / there is zero discussion.
Never used twitter, but tried mastodon a bit. There really is no discussion, right? People are basically talking to themselves. I tried some interactions but never got far
Twitter/X and Mastodon are just bad RSS feeds to me not communities.
I don’t understand, why should I care about what interchangeable capitalist owns the social media I use?
This particular capitalist is having a significant impact on that platform.
If that doesn’t concern you (and it doesn’t have to) then carry on with giving no shits.
It seems like your problem is that he is vocal about his views. In reality he isn’t much different in his effect then Zuckerberg, or Larry Page, or Murdoc, Huffman or anyone else that controls large platforms and enforces policies that shape the “acceptable” discourse on the platform. To put it bluntly, in a capitalist society you are forced to engage with Capitalists. Trying to be “ethical” in your consumption is waste of your time.
You got my number on that one. And you’re right about them being cut from the same cloth and part of a bigger problem. I suppose Musk annoys me more because he’s louder.
I can’t argue against being ethical in media consumption being a waste of time in the sense that the tiny percentage of us that choose to boycott any given platform make no difference. But I think having ideals and following them is worthwhile and I will continue to do so.
But I was also sincere in my statement that I don’t think you (or anyone) has to share that concern. Those are my ideals. They don’t have to be yours and I don’t expect that of anyone.
While I know this thread isn’t really for me, since I don’t have a twitter and never have, admittedly I am still exposed to and click on tweets way more often then I’d like. But ultimately, as odious as I find Musk (pun intended), there isn’t really anything he can do that would stop me from laughing at a tweet or whatever. So while you are right that I don’t “have” to, the reality is that with the network effect dictating where I or my friends find those funny tweets, I don’t really have a choice. And besides, every time someone shares a tweet it is literally costing Elon money.
Your asking the wrong community. Go ask Reddit this question
I’m not.
Because I like the way Molly feels.
I’m a follower, I don’t post, reply, like, or anything. I just want to see what the people I follow have to say, and they haven’t moved anywhere else.
My account was locked, and I haven’t the interest to unlock it just to get off Twitter. I never open the app/ website. I’ve had a nitter front end when I do need to see a meme from there. I haven’t used it, lately.
I’m not. Twitter was dead to me the moment Musk took over.
I have the distinction of having made my current presence on there a literal 24 hours before Musk announced he was going through with buying Twitter. By the time he was shown to be the kind of person he was, it had already become an inseparable piece of my mind and creations. If he bans me for speaking out against him, that will be a sign. Maybe this will be my speed bump.
I don’t think you totally get the capitalism thing or something? You don’t protest a capitalist by giving them money.
Who said I was giving anyone money?
Any time I make a sale, there’s an automatic post made on X to help promote dem titties. Aside from that, I don’t use it unless I’m following a link from lemmy.
