I'm on Mastodon (et al) and I did often go back to Twitter to check on things.
But now they blocked checking things when not logged in, inertia has set in and I cannot even bothered to make the effort and don't feel like I've lost anything. Even for those accounts I followed.
I just think of paid blue checks spouting off nonsense while paying to do so and think to myself: "No ... that's not the bullshit I want to consume. I preferred the relatively democratic bullshit from before"
... and then I think: "Let's just cut the bullshit"
It is a shame, as it was entertaining.
- darkwater 3y agoI think that bullshitting is just part of human nature (or at least of the current global society/ies). You just need a critical mass to see it properly. When a community/social network is small, it's either bullshit free or completely full of bullshit. When it's big enough, the bullshit quantity will converge regardless the initial value.
- Lolaccount 3y agoI'm calling bullshit. Hasn't answered yet.
- darkwater 3y agoTo what should I answer? To what people you know do on Twitter? I stand by my opinion: the platform doesn't have a word in the bullshitting level, unless it strictly moderates the content in a way that would be basically dictatorial.
