The alternative is to finally abandon twitter for good.
- BiteCode_dev 3y agoDespite the outrage, I think only a minority of users think this. Most twitter users like it, and didn't even attempt to move to another platform. I personally tried substack notes, mastodon and bluesky, and none of them bring 0.1% of the activity and interesting things that used to happen on twitter. Now twitter is less interesting than before, but it still the only candidate that is worth my time. Even reddit is slowly becoming meh. I'm certain that the new generation, however, is creating their own wonderland in a place I'm not active in. That's how we got twitter started, it's usually the young that stir those things.
- AwaAwa 3y agoToo few people who care, too many that are happy to be fed what the twitter algo decides they should see. Dopamine takes care of the rest.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoToo few people care for what to happen? Maybe I am misreading your post, but why does it matter if people behave in a certain way en masse, when the majority of the personal impact is based on personal behavior.
- pierat 3y agoThis is the actual answer... but social networks are super sticky, and trap people in with the threat of cutting other people off who also cant/wont leave.
- timeon 3y agoHow? There are currently 2 HN submissions which are twitter links.
- ksherlock 3y agoYou don't need to click every link you see on hacker news.
- Astraco 3y agoAnd you don't have to comment
- rideontime 3y agoI'm not sure I understand the question.
- prmoustache 3y agoAnd you are threatened at gun point to click on those links?
