That's not quite what I said. The product experience has not changed sufficiently such that I'm motivated enough to pay the 'cost' of trying to find a better product experience elsewhere. 'hostage' is a strange word to use.
- Grimblewald 3y agoFair enough, I more so meant to ask if the core reason for you staying rather than transitioning to an equivalent service was the follow list. For example, if a tool existed that let you simply export/import your follow list to an equivalent platform, would you still stay for something you believe twitter does uniquely well? My big concern with twitter is it's main selling point was trustworthiness, which it has lost. Right now the one thing it seemed to do better than other platforms was combat misinformation, but now it is the same as other platforms, if not somewhat worse than some.
- chrisfosterelli 3y agoGotcha. The short answer is I'd stay, but not for something I believe twitter does uniquely well. A tool like that would make it easier to move away from Twitter for sure, so the motivation threshold for doing so gets lower. But the core reason is that I'm just not motivated to move away from it. It still does what I want more or less like it did before and it doesn't seem that any other platforms are doing it obviously better (at least right now).
