Funnily enough twitter just suddenly got much worse like a couple days ago for me, only pushing blue-check accounts so I might just finally stop using it

They call it rebrand but changing a name to something really bad is a rebrand now? Isn't it supposed to come with different behavior or different style as well?

It's the same man child running it as before, nothing has changed.

He should start charging the users to make up for the loss ;) (praying and hoping this damn site dies soon)

I still use Twitter but I think honestly that I could live without it and I reckon most other people could too. It's just force of habit more than anything else. Mastodon, or Threads, or Blue Sky would all be quite happy to pick up the slack. I actually use Mastodon too but I wish the news media would produce feeds for it rather than rely on mirrors.

The place has become a cesspool tbh and with no moderation it only gets worse with each passing day. Blue ticks actually pay to elevate their moronic hate views above others so more moderate and normal voices get drowned out. Musk is mulling charging everyone money to "combat bots" (bullshit), and mulling pulling out of the EU because of their pesky requirements about moderation. I wish he'd do all this stuff and bring the whole thing crashing down.

To be honest, I’ve had a Twitter account for years but didn’t really use it. I would only go on Twitter once every few months. Since everyone’s talking about it now because of Musk I think about it more and use it a little more. Maybe once a week. I wonder if the lost users are being replaced by people like me.
