    Why do we have to trawl through the bottom of Xitter?

    I thought that we all left them behind to come here so we could get on with making a better global community.

      We’re treating twitter like a toxic ex partner: we don want to know anything about them but we deep down do want to.

          I have never enjoyed twitter so much as i have since the Musk Express boarded it.

          I don’t have even an account or visit the site.

    Everyone still on Twitter is part of the problem.

      Really it’s the celebrities more than others keeping it afloat. What’s really inexcusable is that so many Democratic politicians still have accounts - AOC, Bernie, the whole gang is still there helping Elon and Saudi billionaires get richer poor more slowly.

        Unfortunately it is not that simple. Abandoning it after everyone already started using it would mean that the current users would all be left in a far-right bubble potentially not even realising it or realising too late. Its exactly what Elon wants.

    And yet BrandonT4546 will no doubt continue to use X, keep calling it “Twitter” to trick himself into thinking hes going to a different Nazi bar, and complain about how “cooked” it is without ever looking for an alternative.

    E: yeah I’m right (X link)

      Hopefully Mastodon is user friendly enough for people when its time comes.
