Schrodinger’s douchebag but as a moderation policy

It’s so cringe and ridiculous how they implement these obnoxiously biased changes and then immediately walk them back when they’re called out for it. Just trying to figure out how much they can get away with

I’ve never been an active Twitter user but it surprises me how much they do seem to be getting away with. Does it really not bother most people? Last time I logged in (before deactivating my account like a month ago) it seems like people I followed were still going about using it as usual. I suppose similarly I’m saying that here on Lemmy having migrated from Reddit - and Reddit is very much active after its own drama too, I guess.

People have invested a lot into Twitter. They’ve built social networks there, they have brands or client bases for people who make money and it’s also just where most people are. Leaving means giving up most of what they need or want Twitter for. It’s a captive audience

Yeah, it’s the same problem for people who rely on exposure to get business. Artists, for example, are pretty much locked into Twitter. Because they rely on a large user base for their work to be seen and spread. And switching to another site (even if it has better quality of life) isn’t feasible if the massive user base doesn’t already exist there.

It’s not infeasible to post the same comments or media to multiple sites

Twitter really isn’t where most artists have their followings, though. Instagram is much better suited for it.
