isn't it obvious to everyone that the X/Twitter exodus is just a forum split?
haven't all of us of a certain age participated in a forum that eventually devolved into drama, and then everyone picks sides, and someone makes a new forum, and half the group leaves?
That's all that's happening on X. Now we have a bunch of twitters: X, Bluesky, Truth, Fediverse.
They're all twitters and the X exodus is just a twitter split. X will go on, but smaller, and people will share posts between the twitters the way they always have shared posted between social media sites: with screenshots.
Nature is healing.
- mcphage 2y agoIs it a forum split, or is it Digg->Reddit or MySpace->Facebook?
- ang_cire 2y agoI think that will depend on whether Must decides to keep running it at a loss. He has the resources to keep it going for years as a forum for his groupies, but if anyone else were in charge it would be a die-off for sure.
