This is in line with the ideal scenario of Twitter remaining online as a quarantine for spam and culture war stuff, but real traffic migrating slowly elsewhere, hopefully without any single "winner" ever becoming big enough to attract what was left behind.
- diggan 2y agoIs that expected to last though? As far as I understand, the reason Twitter got popular for all the "culture war" stuff was because there was more people engaging with it there, otherwise they would have kept themselves to Social Truth or whatever it's called. These people thrive on reactions, if there is no reaction to what they say, they'll get bored and move over to the place where the people who'd react is.
- rsynnott 2y agoNot forever. I’d be rather surprised if Twitter still exists in a decade. And then maybe Bluesky will get bad. But, well, that is how it goes. No social network lasts forever. You move every five to 10 years.
