  Bluesky, which they view as more useful, welcoming, and aligned with their goals.

  For now, maybe.

    For real. They just can’t stop banning people.

      Can you elaborate on their use of the ban hammer of injustice?

      I don’t use it, so I’m unaware of any dramas, but mass banning sounds interesting.

  I don’t understand how so many people are comfortable voluntarily subjecting themselves to nazi propaganda and rule. The nazi-saluter all but literally has a dial that amplifies the most fervent to the expense of everyone else

  There are not that many things I dislike hearing more than people saying “Formerly Twitter”. Either call it Twitter or X, but everyone knows what’s going on…

  Huh.

  Seems like there’s a weekly article about how it’s dead or an echo chamber because there’s less tolerance for hatred.

  Guess not.

  Well, that’s depressing. I understand why scientists are leaving Twitter. At the same time, the owners of Twitter want to make sure their users only hear “science” that supports their political agenda. Losing more and more of the actual science on Twitter is bad for everybody.

    I have read some analysis that right-wing propaganda gets the most engagement when there are liberals in the community to provide the “liberal tears”. Yes, there is a core group happy to be in an echo chamber with only imagined liberal tears, but the majority find substitutes unsatisfying. Potentially the diminishing of non-right content volume will also diminishing the right content by making the comments less interesting.

    Sadly we are well into the era of fragmented social media and echo chambers. It was always going to end up like this. Still, I hear you. Social media was more fun when everyone was on the same platforms.
