    I wish people were far more willing to just move on when the winds were changing, instead of sticking out for… god knows what reason

        Do you honestly think people are staying on twitter because they want to hang with Musk? Are you on Lemmy because you want to hang with tankies?

          ?

          Many, many people idolize Elon Musk. That is an incongruous comparison.

      yeah, but the Twitter migration problem is “everyone i follow is here and not there so why would i leave?” It’s not like lemmy or Reddit where the individual disappears behind the content

      I don’t get why I’m supposed to leave twitter all of a sudden. Because people on Lemmy don’t like it?

        Because it keeps breaking down; because people are getting randomly banned for no reason; because the chance it has a future is essentially nil, because there’s essentially no abuse controls any more so if someone spams you out of the blue multiple times with CSAM discussion and then calls you a necrophile when you block them (as happened to me this week) you have no recourse; because you can only send ten DMs a day or some stupid number now; because “X” is silly and ugly and you’re cross about the cute bird…

        and because Elon is a narcissistic fuckboy, natch.

          I can’t relate with your experience of what twitter is like. For me it’s the same it has always been. The niche corner of twitter I’m spending time on haven’t changed at all.

        You’re supposed to leave because you don’t want to support a narcissistic fuckboy. You should actively try to avoid giving dragons more gold because all they do is burn villages to the ground.

            I’m sorry if that’s what you gathered from my response.

            Did you ever use Facebook or Reddit? Do you still? Why have you joined the fediverse?

              I left facebook about 6 years ago and reddit over a month ago. Joined lemmy to substitute for reddit

        I feel like it is very obvious that twitter has no future. It has gotten a lot worse, and will keep on just getting even more so.

        It had been obvious from as soon as Elon began firing nearly everyone at twitter, jeopardizing its future development and maintanance.
