The real problem at this point isn’t twitter. it’s idiots continuing to use and empower Twitter even though they know it’s a problem.
Same with reddit and other social media.
People need to start owning their behaviors but keyboard warrior talks much, but got forbid they face any slight inconvience.
Eh, at least with reddit you can stick to the niche subreddits there that don’t have a large community anywhere else and avoid the political cesspool side of it. And if you use it on desktop in classic mode with ublock or other similar addons, it’s still a pretty nice experience, all things considered.
Twitter, on the other hand, shoves anything and everything in your face against your will.

Why are people still using Twitter/x.
Puts on old man hat.
People talk shit about Twitter and still use it. Is it really that hard to quit? Essentially that makes everything you say seem unbelievable.
Don’t talk about it, be about it!
A lot of people have abandoned it
Its not like everybody is hating on twitter, the ones that like it still use it but in lemmy you will see a lot of hate because, you know how we all came here in the first place
Until pro sports abandons twitter it is not going anywhere.
Same thing with YouTube. Everyone hates it- but everyone still flocks to support their practices of fucking over the content creators.
How is YouTube fucking over content creators?
Probably demonizing videos for ridiculous nonsense.
Edit: demonetzing.
Translates to- twitter will only show pro trump ads.
Probably mostly, yes. Also this is likely an indication of how fucked their finances are.
By then the only users might be pro trump anyway
They desperately need money so yeah
Muskrat needs to try to get some money flowing there somehow.
This was the plan all along. Let’s see if he can keep it afloat until November 2024. Watch for fresh cash infusions from familiar players.
He’s gonna have so many rubles he can pretend he’s Scrooge Mcduck.
People really need to just accept the fact that, for better or worse, “Twitter.com” as we knew it is dead and “X.com” is here to take all of the flaws and worst aspects of the old platform and turn them into the main selling points of the new platform. Extremist right-wing politics and disinformation are no longer bugs, but features.
It doesn’t make sense to be so attached to a social network that you’re willing to constantly turn a blind eye to how toxic it is for society and democracy.
Ditch Twitter
Things went as predicably as we knew it would when Musk bought Twitter. He’s always been an alt right sell out, and Twitter was a great way to broadcast alt right propaganda.
He’s part of the still ongoing coup with the GOP plus his direct communication with Putin of all people. It’s fairly obvious at this point.
LMAO of course it does, Elon is using the site to specifically foment disinformation and support right wing politics.

I wonder what political party will be advertising alongside Nazi content? Hmmmm.
And the collective IQ of this country just dropped another few thousand points.
The 2024 election is all that Twitter needs to survive through. After that Musk will probably let it die.
I definitely think he’s trying to burn twatter down to the ground so he doesn’t have to deal with it.
