A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you share a link from twitter to other platforms you used to see a preview... but not for a while now. Doesn't matter if it's Facebook or Lemmy, twitter.com replies with a 404 on links that work fine even without being logged in.

Are they incompetent or is this a strategy to limit incoming traffic? 🤣

You have a point but there's a huge chunk of people that aren't well informed enough (we already all know of the people that simply don't care, I'm not talking about those) and still use it.

I have to live on the same planet on people that do a lot of things that I don't agree. That's called living in a society.

You all lose time and energy lecturing people that are already on Fedi because they for some reason that you do not know are engaging with a platform that you don't like. It's just like, we all know Twitter bad. Chill.

I agree. Too many people use Twitter to just label them all shitty nazis. It's as idiotic as blaming a whole religious groups for the actions of a few extremists.

And your comment about the uninformed is spot on. Tons of people are just not thinking about all this stuff for one reason or another, and in a sense I don't blame them. If it wasn't for my child I'd love to bury my head in the sand and just try and get through this maelstrom called life.

Like you said, most people just think Twitter sucks now and move on, at this rate musk will kill it for good in the next 5 years. That or it becomes a pathetic echo chamber like truth social.

I think it will die earlier, but who knows haha

Thank you for the reply, I'm not as good as exposing my opinions as English is my second language, but you understood exactly what I meant!

If people would consider that a lot of people are easily charmed by big corporations because they offer convenience/easy to use service mostly because they barely have time for themselves I think the world would be a better place.

I agree, mate. And your English is better than mine and it's my only language, very articulate.
