I mean why would you wanna do that? just wwhy?
Sniffing that glue again.
He should get that addiction to chewing wires sorted out
He just needs to chew on bigger, thicker wires. The kinds with beefier plugs on the end of them.
IME new people in charge gotta “make some changes around here” to justify their position. But if you own it why?
I wish it would all just die and fade into obscurity, at this point. Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads all exist. There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.
Fuck threads.
There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.
- Almost no one I follow on twitter is on those other sites
- Almost none of the people that follow me are on those other sites
It’s so annoying. The people I follow keep complaining about musk. Their followers keep telling them to move to Mastodon. But they don’t. What are they scared of? They’ll lose followers? Because I’m pretty sure if they switch and put a link on their twitter, a lot will follow.
At least there’s a bird.makeup instance that reposts tweets to mastodon so you can follow them there, but you can’t interact with them.
For my use case (browsing art and comics, mainly japanese), Mastodon’s actually proving to be a worthy substitute. Some of the people I follow have already moved to it and Misskey
Most haven’t yet, but the tight-knit feel it has now isn’t too bad.
I post on both, but mainly browse Mastodon and encourage others to do the same.
In my case it’s not so much the people I follow but the people that follow me. I post my photography there and have over 1600 followers when as on instagram I only got 33. I don’t really benefit anything from my following but it’s nice to post my pictures online when people actually see them too.
You should check out mastodon.art then
Well that needs to change now doesn’t it?
Yeah, but you can’t make them move, can you. People are like birds flocking, they want their communities, and until people start to move organically they won’t go. You can talk to them all you like about how it’s better and how it’s not scary, but nobody’s going to go anywhere that doesn’t have the content they want.
I came here early in the reddit migration. The content I wanted was there, but I understood that new content would be created here with time.That proved to be completely true. The amount of content has absolutely exploded in a short time and it’s still growing.
It was worth the risk to use something that both reflects my value system and does not support those that actively behave in ways I find deplorable. I’d rather not engage in social media at all than support any of those monsters. I never used x/twitter. I left Facebook years and years ago, but was never a huge fan anyway. But, make no mistake, I really loved reddit. I adored it. It was my favorite place on the internet for a third of my life. But spez ruined it by mistreating people. It hurt to leave, but I had no other option.
I think the lack of content is an excuse. I think, if you haven’t left by now, you just don’t really care - especially if you are aware of alternatives. You probably don’t want to have to care either.
They will if all their friends go
And their friends will go if all their friends go, and so on. ~Strawberry
I’d much rather have twitter than threads, as bad as it may be
Threads needs to go too. In fact all sites that want to steal/sell all your data and control the whole world do.
What is he going to Musk up next?
You can’t call yourself X and then not go all dark, that makes perfect sense.
I’m just waiting for the Radio X-like slogans, for the full effect : “we’re the end of the alphabet people, that’s got to mean something, but we don’t know what”Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/KMER4ULvUx8
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Has he been huffing burning plastic again?
There’s no benefit to that… I don’t get it ._.
Think of all the extra kilobytes of bandwidth they will save by not serving the dim theme CSS.
I’m pretty sure at this point he’s fully just doing a social experiment
seeing how feral people get the more he changes their addiction app

“A lot of people”
Translation: “no one, it was me”
No, not just Elon, I bet he has bots too
“many people are saying…”
Twitter’s going save money by hosting their website on Geocities. The new plan only comes with 250mb of storage and that dancing baby gif is like 3mb easy. Gotta clean up somewhere.
The logo is now black, so I understand that they don’t want blue in it.
This does not mean i support twitter’s actions
Elon is as a Elon does
Doesn’t affect us OP. Does it ?
Musk owns twitter so he can do whatever he wants to do with it. Its like when I mod my Toyota corolla , Toyota doesn’t post pics and ask “why”.
If you made a stupid enough looking mod to your Toyota, I guarantee someone would post a picture of it on Lemmy
Doesn’t mean shit as I own the Toyota corolla and i’ll do whatever I want with it. That how it works. If people have an issue, just dont use twitter. Using privately held social media and keep complaining 🤦♂️
