Says the dude actively using twitter. GTFOO of twitter people.

Personally I feel lemmy should ban, or at least mandate they are nsfw screen shots originating from that cesspool.

Remember people when the viewing stops, that awful CEO can go fuck himself.

I don't fault him at all. If you're in the entertainment industry (and want to stay in it), a Twitter presence is pretty much required. Online posting isn't just a hobby, it's part of your job, and Twitter is where the audience is.

Since Twitter is a pile of shit let me link a photo of this tweet today.

Ah. It was a year and a half ago. And you'll notice the account is no longer verified.

That being said fuck Twitter. Not just since Muskrat took over, fuck it for as long as it has existed and been a blight on society.

thanks for that :)

This at least is good news.

It is basically impossible at this point to know. Elon loves giving people who give him shit blue check marks because he thinks it's an insult to them.

Centralization sucks. I know a lot of people who are currently dropping BlueSky and migrating back to Twitter because it was just too much of a loss for them unfortunately.

Edit:

Can't be bothered responding to each post individually so I'll put this here.

First off. Mastadon isn't that great of an experience. There's a reason it's not even at half the amount of users it started with. The devs don't listen to feedback and at the current time attempting to get the average person on there is a struggle.

Second off. There are people who use twitter for professional purposes. There's also a lot of companies that refuse to drop the platform which means people collaborating or coordinating with them end up using it for that purpose too. A lot of people and groups with large followings still find moving off the platform too risky. I'm not among those groups but you're being a bit ignorant if you think they don't exist or that they don't matter.

Mastadon is a thing. It's wild people choose between two closed networks.

You can choose not to use Twitter without living like a hermit though. In general, this comic sucks as a response.

This comic just underscores that this person doesnt really understand what they posted, I think ironically they posted it to look intellegent.
