Remember when people talked about Tumblr replacing Twitter as Elon Musk took over? Remember their pathetic bluecheck stunt? What's wrong with this organization? How did they fail to capitalize on such a massive opportunity?

- add-sub-mul-div 3y agoTwitter is being replaced the way Craigslist was replaced, gradually and by many options instead of one. There won't be a single new sudden Twitter replacement. That's a good thing, I use a bigger variety of sources than I did before quitting Twitter. I don't rely so much on any one.
- thejohnconway 3y agoTumblr fundamentally doesn't work the way Twitter does (imagine if Twitter was all screenshot retweet chains!), and so it's a poor replacement. I find it hard to use – I get lost in the reblogs – and I've used it for well over a decade now.
