That reads like massive cope. Twitter fundamentally offers no killer feature. Being "around for nearly 20 years" means nothing.

- notadoc 2y ago> Twitter fundamentally offers no killer feature. Less censorship is a pretty important feature
- pohl 2y agoCensorship isn’t absent from Twitter. Quite the opposite.
- doug_durham 2y agoTwitter is all about censorship. That's its core feature now. Intimidation has been engineered into the platform. Suppression of unpopular or marginal opinions that don't align with the owner has been systematically added to the platform. Try typing the word 'cis' into the platform.
- sundaeofshock 2y agoA really killer feature for me is not being bombarded by racist, sexiest, homophobic, and transphobic drivel. Twitter doesn’t support this feature; it’s all but impossible to avoid all that crap on that platform.
- tomlockwood 2y agoPost "cisgender". Bluesky also has the "less censorship" feature :D
- latentcall 2y agoWhen people say censorship in regard to Twitter they just want to be shitty to people. Just post on 4chan what’s the real difference? Twitter is a cesspool.
- transcriptase 2y agoIt does when you’re talking about the number of recent App Store downloads. Which I was.
- tomlockwood 2y agoIt's still a factual statement to say it has a higher ranking and it's irrelevant to mention the 20 years thing. Someone said the car is the most popular vehicle in the last year and someone pipes up to say the horse and carriage has been around for three thousand years! Wow!
- lif 2y agothanks you for this. I for one find your analorgy both highly apt and convincing!
- transcriptase 2y agoYou’re either being intentionally obtuse or unintentionally missing the point. News outlets giddily claiming some newly launched FPS game is going to replace Counter-Strike because it had more downloads in a given week in 2024 would be a far more apt analogy and equally as absurd.
- tomlockwood 2y agoAnd yet, something having more downloads than the Old Thing, is one of the first signs. No need to fuss over it and get defensive.
