"why do you stay on twitter when it's borderline unusable and operated by nazis and all the engagement you've ever received on your personal craft is mostly fake or meaningless"

those are all totally valid points! you're right, genuinely. I guess I'm still there because I've spent more than a decade there and I just know people, people I like to talk to or even just softly interact with every day. and if I suddenly deleted my account most of those relationships would suddenly evaporate into thin air because I don't have the social energy to contact people constantly 1-on-1. that's too gruesome a bandaid for me to rip off myself, so I need the piece of shit running it to just absolutely fuck it up beyond repair and have it explode overnight so the decision is made for me. I really, really hope he does it soon so I can stop being assaulted by crypto bots

I feel like most people talking about leaving twitter don't have a response past "don't worry! your art/music/games will get seen elsewhere" but like. okay what if I legitimately just shoot the shit and talk to people on there. I'm not even mad at the people suggesting it, I'm mad at myself and mad at the situation (and mostly mad at Elon Musk)

I was once talking about twitter with my sister and she asked "like who even goes on Twitter to have a normal conversion or talk to friends?"

Like my immediate response was "I did. A lot. I met a lot of my friends there." She was genuinely surprised to hear that.

exactly. twitter wasn't just a place to advertise

nearly every lasting friendship i've made in my adult life was either made on twitter or could be traced back to friendships with people i met on twitter

“Why haven’t you left twitter” is the new “why haven’t you left FA”

I feel this a lot. I feel like i've lost touch with a loooot of people since basically leaving for bsky and cohost. I've also maintained a lot of friendships and made new ones in both places, but the notion that elon musk is personally responsible for my own deteriorating friendships over twitter is fucking infuriating

Coda @Codarobo1/19/2024, 9:15 AM

and like, I think people who are so cavalier about this can shut the fuck up. leaving was hard, is still hard. elon musk basically bought my neighborhood and I had to move, in a very real sense. because, yeah, twitter was pretty much the nexus of my social life during uh.. my entire adulthood thus far, until recently

sleepiest queer in vol'dun 🦊💤@ShugoWah1/19/2024, 9:17 AM

single-handedly overnight just fucked it all up. goddamn it I hate him so fucking much

Coda @Codarobo1/19/2024, 9:21 AM

literally hope he chokes on his own shit

walking mirage @atomicthumbs1/19/2024, 9:27 AM

i hope his head just does that, like jfk's did

clam holding expert @moot1/19/2024, 11:12 AM

oh i feel this post 100%

like i still look at it from time to time because several people haven't moved elsewhere so i like to see what they're up to and i moved the bulk of my activity on there to my private account but its like. if i spend too much time on there now i just feel gross as i keep getting spammed by bots or am forced to see the 29 millionth ad for some dropshipper garbage knowing that in some way that emerald prick is benefitting in some way

like i genuinely hope musk fucking eats shit sometime, that his cult of personality evaporates and everyone that isn't Online People Who Already Know realise what an absolute waste of skin he is

i feel you, after i deleted my account it took me a long while to recover from losing touch with so many people, it was an impulsive decision on my end and if i thought about it more i probably wouldn't have done it, most of the folks i used to interact with on there i just, completely lost contact with and it was really awful and lonely for a good while; i was really hoping i could rebuild those kinds of relationships here but cohost fucking sucks for just, casually interacting with friends without having to type up stuff (that the other person then has no other way to acknowledge than to reply directly)

pebble @peb1/19/2024, 12:29 PM

plus it's clear only techy people who are tired of tech are actually on here and it can get very monotone

frankie boyle's beanbag chair of death @micolithe1/19/2024, 1:20 PM

I miss every single person that didn't jump to something that wasn't bluesky very dearly, but I had to leave I just couldn't do it anymore

i have a friend who has absolutely no investment in twitter or really any social media get on my shit constantly for being on twitter and its so frustrating to try and have to explain that im going to lose the ability to interact with people i like if i do that and that everyone has different ideas of what would be the best replacement for twitter and that I HAVE moved to other sites but I cant make everyone else do the same and its just so goddamn exhausting

like, im following about 130 people on twitter, and have about 330 followers on there as well. Im following 18 people here, 4 of which havent posted in half a year, and being followed by 3, one of those being one of the 4 who havent posted in half a year. I love co-host, but I wonder where im spending most of my time socializing

Geight @Geight1/19/2024, 5:03 PM

As someone that did delete Twitter and stop going there on desktop I can confirm there were several friendships that basically got put into stasis and also, a good number of people I wouldn't really call friends but despite us not knowing each other they would engage with some posts that absolutely nobody else did, so I felt a sense of kinship because of of our shared interests. All that's gone now, and there's nothing that's going to fill the void.
