I need to tell you, Twitter poster, that you are a frog in a pot of water that has been boiling for months. Having left the site in February, I literally cannot look at Twitter for more than a few minutes anymore. Every tweet about anything vaguely important is swamped in hundreds of blue check culture warriors shouting the worst things anyone can say about another human being. You're forced to scroll through all of it to read anything by anyone with an ounce of empathy left in them. Musk, at this very moment, encourages plans to air vicious anti-trans propaganda sitewide on the first day of Pride Month, against Twitter's TOS.
Nobody uses Twitter for Twitter. They use it for the people on Twitter. Your presence is encouraging someone else to stay. What is it going to take?

) when i eventually realized those people would now show up on there. now that i've found myself using cohost more than twitter, i'm finding that it's not really twitter-specific -- i currently have ~10 cohost tabs open doing the same thing i did on twitter. i commend staff for their decision to try and build a website that rejects the behaviours that twitter fosters, but its very hard to design around a user's persistent desire to make their own life worse
