I don't understand the reason for leaving Twitter? Just seems really petty... it's just a social media channel among many.
- AlexandrB 3y agoGiven that almost every change under Musk has made for a worse user experience - especially for free users - perhaps it's better to flip your question on its head: I don't understand the reason for staying on Twitter? Just seems really petty... it's just a social media channel among many.
- exabrial 3y agohuh? what quantifiably is "worse"? I'm not defending him, but this seems extremely petty.
- AlexandrB 3y agoNo 3rd party app support, more ads that more closely resemble content, payment required to rank highly in replies, non-chronological sorting of tweets when viewing an account's page if not logged in, more prompts to log in if not logged in, missing context (title text) from linked websites. That's just the more objective changes that have made for a worse UX. One could argue that Twitter's overall culture has also gotten worse, but that's much more subjective.
