I have no idea why the fuck people are addicted to that garbage site but I still see people sending me links to it.
It still seems like a lot of bands, brands, sports clubs, even governments haven’t left, so people who want to see info from them still stick around. It’s pretty ridiculous when your official fire department social media account is on the same site producing deepfakes of nude or nearly nude kids.
That and instant gratification. Heaven forbid you see news 24-48 hours later about some inconsequential topic. Just imagine…
That, and people believe FUD, which is usually in the form of overreporting on toxic callouts - yes, I had to block some anti-AI people and their blocklists, but Twitter is still way worse.
Other is that people believe too much in the power of “market demand magic”. Remember all those elitist gamers who only want games to be made to the most hardcore ones, who in turn harass women and minorities? It’s not just them who are like that. Even progressive Harry Potter fans are still deluding themselves that if they stop funding Johanne Karen Rowling’s TERF war chest, she will suddenly become way worse.
Yet others complain that Bluesky and Mastodon are not as addictive as Xitter. It’s like claiming salad is bad for you, because it doesn’t provide cocaine-like addiction.
I’m proud to say I have never twittered a tweet in my twatting life
I did. To get an open beta key for PlanetSide 2, 14 years ago. Got the key, haven’t touched it since.
Heyy PlanetSide 2 player in the wild!
I played for a bit, but my mental health always get very bad when I waste hours on it, so I think I got to like 2 months straight (I was a bored teen/young-adult lol) before I had to quit because it really fucked with my mental health for some reason…
Like its so thrilling to troll around with the stalker + sidearm, but idk I think the atmosphere makes it depressing… the Hossin map is the most depressing atmosphere I think.
I was lucky enough to be in a big Outfit and part of a fast drop breach team. Trained a lot together, clearing different bases and breaking down bases and pathways behind enemy lines, allowing for our main force to roll on in. Was a fun game all the time mainly for that team and social aspect. Was a lot of “Holy shit!” moments with a good unit.
I have. But back then it didn’t have vowels and you had to text the website to post.
You weren’t missing much, it was basically “I’m in popular group” said a thousand different ways.
I made an account just to know when PAX tickets went on sale, but I still feel dirty.
Every day, my Google news feed has at least one news story that’s a link to X. I often accidentally click but close and tell Google to block the news source as soon as I notice it’s X.
Many are science and environmental news outlets. I don’t care. If they post to X, I tell Google to block them from my feed.
Easy solution to this is to stop using Google news feed.
Install NextDNS and block the domain. Also, block whatever you want. It’s awesome.
Since it’s clear shame isn’t working I’ll happily congratulate anywho leaves Twitter in 2026. Late to the party is better than never.
To leave the nazi bar, one needs only to walk out the door. There are other non-Nazi bars right nearby.
And remember if there’s a bar full of 19 Nazis plus you… it’s a bar full of 20 Nazis.
And an apple a day keeps the Nazi away!
Better yet, go out with glory. Get yourself banned for speaking up against Nazis, and ICE, and pedos.
At this point is fair to assume Twitter users are either Nazis, pedophiles or both.
Pretty much everyone still on twitter is a pedo who sees the CP as a perk.
Honestly, anyone who still uses Twitter after the recent news has demonstrated that they are OK with CSAM, and should be treated as such.
If my like to dislike ratio is any indicate, about 12.5% of Lemmy users need to be on a list.
“Anyone I disagree with belongs on a list.” — literally this guy
Yes, anyone who disagrees with me that Child Porn should not be publicly available should be under serious scrutiny
You’re saying that 100% of your downvotes are on comments saying that CP should be widely available?
I might be confused.
Go read the comment you replied to again, that should clear things up.
Then maybe go outside and take a walk or something.
I left and deleted my account the day Elon bought it.
Me too
It’s embarrassing that you are still there keep your humiliation fetish to yourself
I feel so superior for not having one smug face
This was always allowed.
I take pride in never having been there in the first place. Hell I’ve even avoided any links that would take me there.
I deleted mines yesterday. I was on there for wrestling twitter. I can’t stay on there anymore with people trying to debate the concept of consent and the AI chatbot stuff.
I can’t believe how many people are still using it and consider the “main place”.
