  I deleted Twitter as soon as Space Karen took over.

  However, my friends and so many people I follow on other platforms still link their Twitter profiles.

    Threads stood as much chance as Google Plus had against Facebook.

    Zuckerfucker using a somewhat similar strategy to artificially boost Threads membership (login with instagram once, you can’t delete your threads account without also deleting the instagram one) speaks volumes.

      For what it’s worth, it is now possible to delete your threads account without also deleting your instagram account.

      I also like the absurd amount of permissions it required. Meta couldn’t let their guard down for a moment.

  we’ve been seeing these “twitter’s in biiiiiiiiig trouble now!!” headlines for how many years now?

  this time it’s for realsies.

  yet people refuse to just delete it

  Many journalists want to feel connected, and since many politicians have a presence on Twitter, they feel like they can’t. That means Twitter gets referenced way more than necessary in news stories, which feeds its popularity.

    I honestly don’t think twitter will ever go away until all of a majority of all major sports teams and leagues, a majority of legislative body members, and major news and wire services have a sustained and active presence on bsky. it right now is literally coasting on everything that made it useful pre 2022 and every stupid fucking thing elon has done to make the twitter experience worse hasn’t done enough to cause a critical mass of people to jump.

    once you see major popular twitter accounts like rex chapman, mark hamill, taylor swift and the like (and I say this not because of their politics but because of their massive follower base) regularly post on bsky you can probably start closing the book on twitter.

  I feel like I’m the only person who never signed up for Twitter.

  Many people have deleted it. There just Right wing trolls and bots on that platform

  I’ve deleted it ages ago, but another friend that actually knows and cares about the insanity of twitter still refuses to get away from it because “it’s where the kpop community is”, nowhere else. It’s fucking sad.
