First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

    I suspect that twitter is going to persist for a while too. I was talking to my partner who is no fan of Elon and where he is taking the site, but she said that she doesn’t know where she could build the kind of community she has found through Twitter. She gave mastodon the ole college try too, but the onboarding process there is somewhat complex, especially if you are trying to create a community similar to what you have on Twitter. So on Twitter she remains.

      Yeah, Twitter already had critical mass. Many people built communities and networks and will likely remain for a long while still. It’s so big many can leave and they’ll still have many users.

      Still, the platform did huge fuckups and changes driving users away. Doesn’t mean it’s dead. But certainly not doing well either.
