    I’m really starting to think that Musk deliberately destroying Twitter is not a conspiracy theory.

    I mean, with Twitter and Reddit gone, only Facebook remains.

    Ah, well, there are also WhatsApp, Viber, Tik-Tok, Youtube, Telegram which need similar treatment.

    Of these I casually use YT and Telegram.

    The former is slowly being replaced by uploading videos to the platforms they are posted on.

    The latter - well, there was a time Durov promised there would be no ads ever, there are ads everywhere now. And technically it’s junk (the protocol, I mean, while the QT desktop client itself on the contrary is notoriously CPU and memory efficient for my loads of subscribed channels, groupchats etc ; it does crash sometimes, but no Matrix or XMPP client would simply survive that amount of garbage perpetually updating, so).

      Durov also went full NFTbro with his fucking username sales. I was a massive Telegram advocate until that moment. Destroyed my trust in him. Now we move to targeted ads inserted everywhere… the end of Telegram is near :(
