My relationship to Twitter currently consists of an internal competition between years of habitually opening up the app in moments of boredom and the experience of how much browsing through the content sucks now.
Agree. But I find Bluesky doesn't quite have the network effects of "everyone is there" yet. I still find myself turning to it during hot political moments or sporting events.
I know that Twitter provided that unique value and BlueSky isn't anywhere near that level of polish and singular source yet, but honestly I kind of dread it becoming that. The ways in which it is not the same make it very cozy and pleasant right now.
I’m slowly inching towards finally ripping off the bandaid, downloading my bookmarks and data from all my accounts, and deactivating all of it
each new moral line crossed by Musk and his supporters makes staying there less and less justifiable
I wish checking it wasn’t such a hard habit to break
I've a handful of Twitter accounts bookmarked in my browser that I'll check up on every day or two and outside of that I just can't warrant the eyeball abuse.
it is truly amazing how awful musk made the entire experience. from wading through a hundred blue check dipshits posting 🎯🎯🎯 or 🤣🤣🤣 to seeing a frankly exhausting amount of increasingly niche advertisements about bean jizz or whatever
I was spoiled for years on Tweetdeck which made twitter actually bearable and usable, and then they sold out and tweetdeck became nothing but a link to the premium sub button and vanilla twitter came crashing down on me like a rotten house
migrating the instant I got a code was the easiest thing
I'm not logged in currently, and the trending pages are unusable. Any # is full of keyword stuffed posts. The suggested videos have <10 likes and occasionally include gore, full length porn, and youth violence.
