Nope. Quit the bird site when he went full asshat. Barely used the bird site before but it was helpful for breaking news in the olden days. Other than potential A11Y legal action if it fails for contrast issues, I don't think anyone should care about this stupid site now. The tech community has moved on.
yeah, but the Twitter migration problem is “everyone i follow is here and not there so why would i leave?” It’s not like lemmy or Reddit where the individual disappears behind the content
Because it keeps breaking down; because people are getting randomly banned for no reason; because the chance it has a future is essentially nil, because there's essentially no abuse controls any more so if someone spams you out of the blue multiple times with CSAM discussion and then calls you a necrophile when you block them (as happened to me this week) you have no recourse; because you can only send ten DMs a day or some stupid number now; because "X" is silly and ugly and you're cross about the cute bird...
and because Elon is a narcissistic fuckboy, natch.
I can't relate with your experience of what twitter is like. For me it's the same it has always been. The niche corner of twitter I'm spending time on haven't changed at all.
You're supposed to leave because you don't want to support a narcissistic fuckboy. You should actively try to avoid giving dragons more gold because all they do is burn villages to the ground.
Yeah, this is a car wreck I can watch without backing up traffic behind me. Except the police are arresting some of the first responders while other first responders are punching the people who were in the wreck and the tow truck just pulled right into a car in one of the open lanes, work crews are hastily pulling down billboards and Elon is out there whistling to himself and adjusting the brightness of the street lights.
Yes! I was also so fascinated by the whole titan sub thing for similar reasons. One thing came out and you think - it can’t get more stupid, but then it did! That happened so many times. I’ve never been more baffled by a news story.
I had to start a list of all the stupid stuff that happened leading up to it - I couldn’t keep track. Normally I’m really not invested in stuff like that but it was the most insane story ever.
